A young police constable will think twice before picking up passengers. He was held up at knifepoint and robbed of his firearm at around 21:15 hrs on Thursday.
A police release stated that the rank had picked up two men at Ogle, East Coast Demerara.
He was driving along Crab Island Public Road, Berbice, with the passengers when one of the men asked him to stop so he could urinate.
The release said that the other man, who was in the back seat held the policeman at knifepoint.
“The Constable reacted and managed to discharge rounds from his service pistol which caused the man outside to run away. At the same time, the policeman accelerated the vehicle, but lost control and crashed into a concrete structure (and was) left in a dazed state,” the release added.
“During this, the man who was still in the vehicle took away the rank’s service firearm and escaped into the nearby bushes.”
However he was apprehended among bushes at Crab Island around 14: 10 hrs yesterday. The firearm was also recovered. The man’s accomplice was captured in the vicinity of the Berbice Harbour Bridge.
