| Several teams from the Police Tactical Services Unit (TSU) swooped down on communities in the city yesterday, in search of a firearm that was dropped by one of their colleagues sometime between Wednesday night and yesterday morning.But up to late last night, the weapon, a .38 revolver with six rounds, was not recovered.Senior police officials are tightlipped about the incident, but according to reports the rank,China NFL Hoodies, a member of the TSU Motorcycle Patrol, is under close arrest.Kaieteur News understands that the rank was on duty in the Central Georgetown area on Wednesday night when his weapon went missing.However, he only reported it the following morning. He told his superiors that the weapon fell out of his holster while he was riding in company with a colleague.He claimed that he did not know that the weapon had fallen until he made a check for it and found it was not in the holster.According to a source, the rank and his colleague made frantic searches along the route they had covered, but could not find the weapon.Later, the police received intelligence that the weapon was found by a drug addict who hails from the Albouystown area and they set out in search of him. They managed to locate the drug addict who vehemently denied that he was ever in possession of the weapon.While investigators have listened to the errant policeman’s version of what happened, they are still probing other theories.But for certain, the cop will face departmental and/or criminal charges.Meanwhile, police have also arrested Jeremiah Richards, a Regent Street vendor, who they believe could provide information on the missing weapon.The man’s wife, Ann Richards told Kaieteur News that she and her husband along with other vendors were packing up their stalls when the policeman, who was riding along Regent Street, stopped nearby and leaned his motorcycle in a precarious position.According to Richards,Jose Calderon Jersey, the aforementioned drug addict, who was helping her with her stall, assisted the policeman to right his motorcycle.The cop then left the scene and so too did Richards and her husband.“This morning we learnt that the policeman returned with a vanload of his colleagues,Cheap Air Max 270 Womens, asking for the junkie who assisted him,Cheap NFL Jerseys,” Ann Richards told this newspaper.She said that yesterday morning more police returned to the area and arrested her husband who was in the process of putting out his stall.The woman said that she received word of her husband’s arrest and went to the Brickdam Police Station.She said that she thought that her husband’s arrest had to do with the surrender of Malvin Taylor, because he is the brother of the two women who were shot by the ex-Presidential Guard.“When I went to the station, only then I learnt that it is in connection with a missing weapon from the policeman who almost fell down on the road near my stand. They told me that they were not releasing my husband because it (the weapon) is government property. My husband knows nothing about any gun. But they were not even giving you a chance to speak. They ordered me to leave the station.”“I told them that I was not leaving without my husband but a policeman said that they had space for me at East La Penitence,Cheap Jerseys From China,” the woman added.She explained that the police indicated that because of her husband’s connection to Malvin Taylor, who is in custody at Brickdam,China NFL Jerseys, they will not keep him there, but will send him to Diamond, where he will be put on $50,Cristian Ansaldi Jersey,000 bail.“There were other vendors there, so why did they arrest my husband?They claim that the incident occurred in front of his stand. This whole thing is just advantage.” Ann Richards told Kaieteur News. |
