Cops nabbed demanding cash for returning stolen computer
Two police constables are under close arrest after they were caught red-handed returning a stolen laptop computer to the owner in exchange for money.
A police release stated that on Christmas Eve, a taxi-driver and his three passengers were held up at gunpoint by two men, at Haslington North, East Coast Demerara.
The robbers relieved their victims of two laptop computers, a quantity of jewellery, three cell phones and a sum of cash. The perpetrators then escaped on a motor cycle.
The release said that last Friday, police investigators received information that the two police constables had approached the owner of one of the computers and had received a sum of money from him for the return of the computer.
The computers had not been recovered by the police investigators during the course of the ongoing investigations.
A sting operation was set up and the two ranks were found with the stolen laptop computer in a house at North Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
