Hunt on for ex cops, suspended cops

Camera footage at the home of the victim clearly identifies the SRP from Tobago who was fired, but attempts to find him is proving to be quite difficult. The second SRP who is on suspension is believed to have assisted in the robbery by using his vehicle. Attempts to contact him by officers of the Professional Standards Bureau also proved futile.

Newsday understands that camera footage at the home of the victim only identifies two persons while the remaining four persons cannot be identified properly. Initially, officers from the North Eastern and Port-of- Spain Divisions were interviewed in connection with the robbery but they were ordered released pending further investigation.

An SRP has already appeared in court in connection with the robbery. According to reports, last Friday three armed men arrived at the home of Wei Hui Zhu, 31, of Soledad Road, Claxton Bay in a marked police vehicle, wearing police tactical gear.

Three more “officers” arrived in a black Sport Utility Vehicle stating they had instructions to search his home. The men found and took $400,000 as well as two iPhones.
