Policewoman among detainees in AK-47 find

May 18, 2009 News

A policewoman is among those detained following last Saturday’s raid at Haslington, East Coast Demerara, which netted an AK-47 assault rifle and a .32 revolver.
Kaieteur News understands that the policewoman, who provides security at the home of a Government Minister, lives in a house next to the one from which the police recovered the weapons.
The same house was the refuge for notorious armed robbery suspect Courtney James, who escaped by jumping through a window.
Police are investigating whether the policewoman had knowledge of James’ presence in the house.
Investigators are claiming that the woman should have known that James was there since a wanted bulletin with a photograph of the suspect was published in the media.
It is not clear what action will be taken against the rank who up to last night remained in custody at the Beterverwagting Police Station.
Meanwhile, this newspaper understands that another woman who was also arrested in the raid is in custody with her three children, ages nine, six and two-years old.
The woman is being held in connection with a drug find.
During the raids which led police to the village of Beterverwagting, police also recovered a lap top computer, which was stolen during a robbery on the home of Magistrate Nigel Hawke.
