Police Arrest Serving Officer for Undisclosed Offence; Intercept Illegal Arms

Police authorities have arrested an unnamed officer after executing a search warrant on his home. Police officers stormed the house of the officer on Wednesday but were not able to find any incriminating evidence to nail him. While what the police team was searching for is unclear at the time of filing this report, the officer resisted the search process and was allegedly manhandled by his colleagues.

He was overpowered and taken to the police headquarters where he was detained. He was slammed with obstruction, battery on police officers, and other charges. Inside sources hinted that he might be arraigned in court on Friday, September 2, and he hired attorney Cara Shillingford-Marsh to represent him.

Chairman of the Police Welfare Association (PWA), Jefferson Drigo, confirmed the development but would not reveal details about the case. He said the PWA remains on standby to provide needed assistance to the embattled officer when his case comes up for hearing.

Meanwhile, police authorities intercepted a large cache of illegal arms being transported in a Suzuki Swift vehicle at Loubiere in the evening of Tuesday, August 30, 2022. Acting Inspector Fixton Henderson disclosed that two persons are currently in police custody over the incident. He revealed that police officers seized firearms, ammunition, and cannabis in the bust and praised security personnel for their vigilance.

A search of the vehicle was conducted by the police. Twenty-seven (27) 9mm pistols, one Glock 40 pistol, 108 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and more than 40 pounds of cured cannabis weed were found in and seized from the vehicle. Two persons are presently in police custody assisting with the investigations in this matter.
