A Special Reserve Police officer has been detained after he was caught by police officers, with housebreaking implements on the roof of a shopping mall, in the Sangre Grande district.
The 23-year-old officer was arrested by officers of the Sangre Grande Task Force and Criminal Investigations Department (CID), after he was seen on the roof of a business place along the Eastern Main Road, Sangre Grande, around 3 am on Wednesday.
Officers also found a bag containing bolt cutters and a red hoodie on the roof and observed that sheets of galvanize had already been shifted to allow access into the building.
The officer, who has five years’ service and last attached to the Arouca Police Station, is being detained at the Sangre Grande Police Station for enquiries in connection with a string of break-ins and robberies across the Northern and Eastern Divisions.
WPC Ria Timothy of the Sangre Grande CID is continuing enquiries.
