– Cop under close arrest
A police constable stationed at the Amelia’s Ward Outpost has been placed under close arrest, following allegations that he had sex with a 15-year-old girl who had been detained for wandering.
Police sources said that the rank was taken into custody at the Tactical Services Unit on Wednesday after turning up at the Brickdam Police Station with an attorney.
An official from the Child Care and Protection Agency (CPA) confirmed yesterday that the Agency is also investigating the matter.
Kaieteur News understands that the teen, and another juvenile, were detained about a month ago for wandering. A magistrate reportedly subsequently ordered that the girls be sent to the New Opportunity Corps.
But according to sources, they were kept for several weeks in the lockups at the Amelia’s Ward Outpost. It is during this period that the constable allegedly had sex with one of the minors.
A female sergeant at the location reportedly got wind of the incident and reported it to her superiors. However, the rank was only arrested last Wednesday.
