Cop caught with motorcycle stolen from Detective

An intelligence-led operation by ranks of the Guyana Police Force has resulted in the detention of one of a police constable at around 09:30hrs on Wednesday after he was found in possession of a stolen motorcycle belonging to another member of the Force.

A police statement noted that the 21-year-old police officer, who resides at Friendship, East Bank Demerara (EBD) and stationed in ‘A’ Division, claimed ownership of the motorcycle of which he has no documentation.

He was also found in possession of a pair of false registration plates. According to the police statement, the engine and chassis numbers of the motorcycle corresponded with that of a registration produced by a Detective Constable, who is also stationed in ‘A’ Division.

The Detective had alleged that his motorcycle – CH 8132 – was stolen from his yard in July 2017 at Dennis Street, Campbellville. A case file is being prepared for legal advice.
