Update | In aftermath of attack, Guardsman to give all couriers bulletproof vests, making them mandatory

WESTERN BUREAU: A day after one of its security officers was killed in a foiled robbery in St Elizabeth, Guardsman Group has committed to mandating the wearing of bulletproof vests among its 300-strong armoured fleet guards.

The security company is also replenishing its stock of bulletproof vests for that cohort.
