According to the man’s mother, Diana Oxford, her son, Paul Rose, has been incarcerated at the Camp Street Prison for the last two months on a wounding charge.
The woman claimed that police ranks stormed her Kiskadee Drive home early yesterday morning looking for her son.
“It was 6:30am and I heard somebody banging at the gate since it was locked. When I look through the window I see a van load of policemen. They were rocking the padlock on the gate and telling me lock the dogs up and come out and open the gate.”
Adding that she did as the police requested, Ms Oxford said “the police said they searching for my son because somebody say that he rob them. I told them my son has been in prison for the past two months and still is. The police started the search; running into the rooms…and even run into a room where my daughter was in her underwear. It was only me and my three daughters in the home.”
She further explained that the police checked under the beds and “all corners of the house”.
“Imagine the police even ask me why I have an empty room in the house.”
Ms Oxford noted that after the police left her home there was a heavily-tinted silver car (number provided) circling the area.
“If a man is in Camp Street Prison, how can he be robbing a man in the night? I carrying self-support for my son in prison and police harassing me at my home; I just want the Commissioner of Police and the relevant authorities to take note of what is going on.”
When asked if she made a report, Ms Oxford explained that she does not have faith in the police since a previous report was made about a shooting, where she was almost hit, and the police did not act on any information or contact her on a follow-up on the matter.
“I was going out on that day and a man with an unlicenced gun was shooting at a boy, and I went to the station and nothing ever come out of the story…I just don’t want the police harassing me and my family.”
