The Guyana Police Force (GPF) on Friday condemned a brazen theft that took place Thursday afternoon at the Amelia’s Ward Police Outpost in Linden, where two adult males managed to unlawfully remove an impounded motorcycle from the compound.
The GPF is treating the matter with the utmost seriousness and has launched an investigation into the incident. The two suspects, who are known to the police, are currently being sought. Once apprehended, they will face the full force of the law.
According to reports, at approximately 18:01 hrs, Woman Constable 22856 Grant was on duty at the Enquiries Desk when Constable 24271 Gonsalves brought in a black and grey Skylar motorcycle without a number plate. Constable Grant was instructed to lodge the motorcycle at the compound.
As she carried out her duties, she noticed a white open-back vehicle with a licence plate marked ‘ON TEST’ approaching the compound. The vehicle contained two men in the front and three boys in the back tray. The driver of the vehicle exited, followed by the male passenger, but neither of them approached the police to enquire about the motorcycle that had just been impounded.
Woman Constable Grant then informed one of the young men that he could not remove the motorcycle from the police compound. In an apparent disregard for the law, the individual responded, “I don’t have time; the police can do what they wanna do,” before proceeding to load the motorcycle onto the vehicle and drive away from the scene.
Subsequent investigations led to the recovery of the motorcycle at the home of one of the suspects. It has since been secured at the Mackenzie Police Station. Authorities continue to search for the two individuals involved in the theft.
The Guyana Police Force has reassured the public that it is fully committed to bringing the perpetrators of this act to justice.
