First there were the firefighters accused of stealing passengers’ items. Now, the Guyana Police Force appears to be facing a similar scandal.
Kaieteur News understands that the Guyana Police Force’s band is now short of a number of players, who were allegedly fingered in the theft of expensive model planes.
The planes were among others which were on display last week at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, where Guyana was hosting the 2018 International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Air transport meeting.
It is believed that the band members swiped the planes while performing at a cocktail, which was being held at the Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara location. A lance corporal is among the detained ranks.
Some of the policemen are said to have told investigators they planned to give their nephews and other young relatives the items for Christmas.
Kaieteur News understands officials only realised that the planes were missing when the event ended. According to a source, the ranks initially denied stealing the models. However, footage from the security cameras reportedly showed some of the and members removing the expensive models.
While a senior police official confirmed that an investigation is underway, it is unclear how many ranks are in custody.
