NSW Police are hunting four bandits who shot dead a security guard as they attempted to rob an armoured vehicle in Sydney's CBD yesterday morning.
Chubb security officer Gary Brian Allibon, from Gymea Bay, south of Sydney, died from a single gunshot wound during the armed hold-up on Sussex Street shortly before 6am.
Mr Allibon, 59, was with two colleagues at the time of the shooting and police said one of the men's work-issue handguns was missing.
Acting Superintendent Greg Antonjuk said Mr Allibon and the two other guards had been parked outside the Darling Park building, home to the Holiday Inn and businesses including PricewaterhouseCoopers, Mercer and Chinta Ria restaurant, when they were ambushed by the four men, at least two of whom were carrying guns.
According to police, the masked men demanded access to the armoured vehicle but an altercation occurred between the two groups; one shot was fired, hitting Mr Allibon in the chest.
