Police Sergeant remains in custody over armed robbery allegation

Jun 15, 2010 News

Up to press time yesterday, Police Sergeant, Rajendra Major, remained in police custody as investigators await advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
In the meantime, sources close to the investigation said that the sergeant of police is yet to give a straight story about being in a car without a number plate and having a toy gun in his vehicle.
His two other accomplices also remained in police custody up to press time yesterday.
According to a police release on the incident, about 19:30 hours on Friday, three men who were armed with a handgun and a knife held up Kailall and Sirpaul and took away two cell phones, a silver chain and $22,000.00 and drove away.
A report was made to the police who responded promptly and intercepted the motorcar along the Parika Access Road. Two masked men were seen in the back seat of the vehicle along with the driver who was found to be a Sergeant of Police, the report said.
The two masked men were placed into the police vehicle and the driver was observed throwing something into the bushes. The object was retrieved by the police patrol ranks and found to be a toy gun.
As a rank was about to enter the motorcar with the intention of escorting the vehicle to the station, the driver drove away and subsequently returned to the station with the vehicle bearing number plate PJJ 1957, the report added. He was arrested.
In a twist of tales, defense counsel, Mortimer Codette, has since provided this newspaper with a written statement from the police sergeant who has been implicated in the incident. According to the statement, Codette’s client, Rajendra Major, Police Sergeant 17774, sought to clear his name. He stated that he was attending a function in Georgetown when he received a call from his younger brother asking to be picked up in Parika since he hadn’t any money to journey back to the city.
