Female cop caught shoplifting

Sep 02, 2011 News

 

A party of police ranks got the shock of their lives when they turned up at Giftland Office Max, Water Street, on a shoplifting report, only to find out that the perpetrator was one of their female colleagues.
The woman, a Constable attached to the Brickdam Police Station, was caught with several chocolate bars and compact discs in her bag after denying that she was in possession of the items.
According to reports, the woman was seen putting the items into her bag and attempted to leave the premises when she was stopped by the store’s personnel.
This newspaper was told that the woman became abusive when she was accused of attempting to leave without paying for the items in her bag.
She was detained by the store’s security personnel until the police arrived on the scene and a check of her bag unearthed the items.
Kaieteur News understands that in an effort to have the store forego prosecution, the woman offered to pay for the items, which according to a source, would have amounted to double the cost of the items she had stolen.
The woman was reportedly allowed to go free without being charged.  However, word of the incident somehow reached the ears of a senior police officer, who immediately ordered an investigation.
Up to last night, the woman was still not clear if the woman had been placed under close arrest.
