Cop’s lost weapon still not recovered

Feb 08, 2011 News

A week after a policeman lost his weapon, investigators are still trying to figure out how it happened.
The policeman claimed that he was riding his motorcycle on patrol duties when he fell off and lost his .38 revolver.
The police arrested and questioned several persons including a drug addict who reportedly assisted the cop to right his motorcycle.
However, all of those arrested have denied any knowledge of the missing weapon. Crime Chief Seelall Persaud said that the police have been working on all information that they have received so far. The cop, he said, is now on open arrest having been under close arrest since last Thursday.
Following the loss of the weapon, several teams from the police Tactical Services Unit swooped down on ghettos in the city in search of it. Kaieteur News understands that the rank was on duty in the Central Georgetown area on Wednesday night when his weapon went missing.
He told his superiors that the weapon fell out of his holster while he was riding in company with a colleague.
He claimed that he did not know that the weapon had fallen until he made a check for it and found it was not in the holster.
According to a source, the ranks and his colleague made frantic searches along the route they had covered but could not find the weapon.
