From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TEENAGER SHOT BY POLICE ADMITS ROBBING BANK 261721 JAN 10 By Sherna Noah, PA News A 19-year-old who was shot by a police marksman after a bank raid today pleaded guilty to robbery. Cemalettin Ortancil was shot in the right shoulder following the raid at the HSBC bank, just 150 yards from a police station, in Newbridge, south Wales. Police recovered £9,000 near the scene, stashed in a holdall, and the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) supervised an investigation into the incident. Today at Newport Crown Court, Ortancil, of Blackshaw Road, Wimbledon, south-west London, pleaded guilty to robbery, having a firearm with intent to commit robbery and making use of a firearm with intent to prevent arrest on October 26, 2000. At the time of the incident, witnesses reported a man, wearing a balaclava and dressed in a black boiler suit, threatening a clerk with a gun before fleeing on foot with a sum of money down a side street. Police tracked the man from a helicopter and several gunshots were believed to have been exchanged in Newbridge High Street. The PCA investigation, carried out by South Wales Police, was completed last month. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is due to report on the case. A PCA spokesman said: "The CPS are due to report back to us. We will then look at whether officers followed procedures or not and what, if any, lessons can be learnt."
