A female Lance Corporal attached to the Central Police Station has reportedly been placed under close arrest following allegations that she has been involved in trafficking in persons (TIP).
In the meantime, the parents of a 14-year-old girl are appealing for help in finding their daughter after she allegedly ran away from home and the policewoman is being accused of being one of the persons responsible for the child’s disappearance.
Reports surfaced last Friday when a woman contacted the welfare department in New Amsterdam that her teenage daughter had been misbehaving and running away from home. The matter was subsequently referred to the Police.
However, according to reports, the child was taken into custody by the Female Lance Corporal who promised to nurture and take care of the child for a few days. The policewoman, who hails from a village on the Corentyne, operates a bar and hotel facility at another village also on the Corentyne. It was alleged that the woman would collect young girls and traffic them for a fee.
The child was kept for a longer time and after she eventually returned home she allegedly got away and returned to the policewoman’s residence.
However residents got wind of the operation and reported it to the police who swooped down on the residence. Three girls were allegedly in the house, but one managed to escape. However residents managed to catch two of the girls, ages 17 and 18.
The policewoman was subsequently taken into custody following a confrontation.
Investigations are continuing and the matter was expected to be reported to the Ministry of Social Protection.
