Transmitting set stolen from police vehicle
The police radio communication system could be seriously compromised if efforts to recover a stolen transmitting set prove futile.
The set was stolen from a police vehicle which is attached to the Mahaicony Station a week ago.
And since it is linked to the police transmitting frequency, whoever has it could intercept transmission that flows through the system.Police officials on the East Coast of Demerara are tightlipped on the matter but a reliable source has informed this newspaper that an investigation has been launched to determine how the set was stolen and who is responsible.
Kaieteur News understands that although the vehicle from which the transmitting set was stolen is assigned to the Mahaicony Police Station, it was on loan to ranks at Mahaica which is part of the police sub-division. The source said that when a rank from the Mahaicony Police Station went to uplift the vehicle, he discovered the transmitting set missing. Queries were made but no one seemed to know where the set was. This prompted a thorough investigation into the matter.
It is not clear if anyone who was in charge of the vehicle at the time the set went missing is under close arrest.
