A female drug suspect who escaped from the Timeheri Police Station last month is reportedly alleging that two police constables freed her in exchange for sex.
The 38-year-old woman was recaptured yesterday at Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, a short distance from her home. Four others have also been detained.
Kaieteur News understands that attempts are being made to locate the two constables who the woman implicated in her escape. They are to be placed under close arrest.
The woman, who had been under the scrutiny of Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) and the police, was arrested on May 6, at Soesdyke, allegedly with some 400 grammes of marijuana and a quantity of liquor that she was unlicensed to sell.
She was taken to the Timehri Police Station and kept in handcuffs, while arrangements were made to transport her to the East La Penitence Police Station.
However, because of a shortage of vehicles at Timehri, she remained at the station until Tuesday, May 8, when she was scheduled for court.
She escaped in the early hours of the morning.
The woman is likely to appear in court today.
