Two policemen on close arrest for bribe

Jun 21, 2012 News

Two policemen attached to Central Police Station, New Amsterdam, are now in hot water after they decided to induce a bribe from the wife of a man whom they had arrested and placed in custody on Father’s Day.
According to information, the man who hails from New Amsterdam, was visiting his brother who resides in Fort Ordnance, East Canje.
Around the same time the police had gone to his brother’s residence to arrest him on a charge of threatening behaviour.
The man tried to intervene and he and his brother were arrested and taken to the police station.  It being Father’s Day, the two constables who were on duty decided to approach the victim’s wife with the deal that her husband had committed a serious offence and will be charged.  She was told that in order to secure his release especially for Father’s Day she will have to pay $50,000.
The woman secured the money and handed it over to the ranks. They then negotiated his released.
However, the corrupt transaction got to the hearing of senior officials of the station who immediately launched an investigation and ordered the officers to be placed under close arrest. After intense interrogation the men admitted to accepting the money.
They are still under close arrest and have since returned the money. The man has since given statements to the relevant authorities.
