An ex-cop, now on the wrong side of the law, has been detained after allegedly opening fire on a police patrol.

That incident reportedly occurred Saturday night in the vicinity of Cemetery Road.

According to reports, a police mobile patrol was in the area checking on an abandoned car, when the rank, who was in a white and heavily-tinted vehicle, shot at the ranks before driving away.

One of the ranks recognized him. The former policeman was subsequently taken into custody after turning up at an East Bank Demerara station with at attorney.

A senior police official told Kaieteur News that the rank was interdicted and charged some time ago for armed robbery.

The now 28-year-old was charged in 2012, along with another rank, for allegedly attempting to collect money from the victim of a robbery in exchange for recovering some of the items.
