Three days after two sets of uniforms belonging to officers from the Guard and Emergency Branch (GEB) assigned to duty at the Prime Minister’s residence in St Ann’s were reported missing, yet another kit has been stolen.
This time, a uniform was removed from the locker of a GEB officer stationed at the unit’s headquarters at Garden Road, Aranguez, San Juan.
The sergeant, who lives in St Joseph, claimed to have secured his locker in the dormitory around 7.30 am on Monday (May 14) before leaving.
Reporting for duty around 6.15 am the next day, the officer allegedly found the top of the right door to the locker bent.
Upon checking, he discovered several items missing.
These included a pair of TTPS-issued camouflage pants, a Blackhawk VIPOSXT pistol light valued at US$240 and a Viking tactics two-point padded sling with a pair of blue Force Gear quick-detach swivels valued at US$130.
While officers from the North Eastern Division’s CSI Unit processed and photographed the scene, no workable fingerprints were found.
In the theft on May 13, two sets of digital blue camouflage uniforms belonging to two GEB officers were stolen from the dormitory lockers at the Prime Minister’s residence, La Fantasie Road, St Ann’s.
The officers claimed to have secured the items in their lockers before leaving work and returned the next day, to find them broken into and the items missing.
In addition to the stolen uniforms, other items included two sets of pants, jackets and fisher hats.
