The four men who were captured following a gunbattle with the police and hostage-situation in Spalding on the border of Clarendon and Manchester, last week, have been charged.
This was confirmed by Deputy Superintendent Carey Duncan, head of the Manchester Police.
The men were charged on Thursday for the offences of possession of prohibited weapon; unauthorised possession of ammunition; shooting with intent; wounding with intent and using a prohibited weapon to commit a felony.
They are 26-year-old Andre Shim-Hue, otherwise called "3D" or "Brown Man"; 28-year-old Toney Kelly, otherwise called "Scobie" or "Poochie"; 28-year-old Romaine Dockery, otherwise called "Fungo"; and 29-year-old Shevon Cargnagie, all of Clarendon addresses.
It was reported that the men, armed with a high-powered rifle and handguns, were about to carry out a robbery at a supermarket in the town when they are challenged by a police patrol team.
During an exchange of gunfire, two of the suspects were shot and wounded.
A policeman was also shot and wounded.
The alleged gunmen barricade themselves in the supermarket and this led to a major standoff with the police.
Several shoppers and the business operators were trapped inside the building.
The suspects reportedly live streamed their surrender to the police team.
