Two more police ranks are facing criminal charges after demanding money from a motorist who happened to be the relative of a senior police officer. The ranks took away $4,000 and a cellular phone from the motorist who was at the time driving without his licence. This newspaper was told that on Friday night, the ranks, who are from the Ministerial Patrol, stopped a car near the 1763 Monument and demanded that the driver produce his licence. When the man told them that he did not have it on his person, they threatened to lock him up unless he ‘grease we hand”. The officer intervened and the ranks were positively identified as the ones who took the cash and the cellular phone. They have been placed under close arrest. Just a few weeks ago two ranks were charged for accepting a bribe from a woman they had previously detained. The administration of the force has within recent times been grappling with the high incidence of corruption and bribery. |
