Cops raid SRP’s home

Newsday understands that a joint team of officers from the PSB with the assistance of officers from the Inter Agency Task Force (IATF) executed a search warrant at the home of the SRP but he could not be located on Thursday night. The search was carried for illegal arms, ammunition but nothing illegal was found.

The SRP has since contacted officers of the PSB and indicated that he would make himself available to be interviewed in company with his attorney.

During the same exercise, officers detained two civilians from the San Juan area in connection with the $400,000 robbery. The two are being questioned by PSB officers up until midday yesterday.

Officers are also searching for a former SRP formerly assigned to the Tobago Division who was dismissed from the service after he was charged with larceny. The whereabouts of this former officer remain unknown.

However, police sources revealed that he was captured on surveillance camera at the scene of the $400,000 robbery while the vehicle belonging to the SRP on suspension was also seen in the camera footage. The identity of the other persons involved in the robbery at Claxton Bay could not be seen clearly. One SRP formerly assigned to the North Eastern Division has already been charged with the $400,000 robbery and has been placed on $250,000 bail.

He was expected to reappear in court on Monday on a possession of ammunition charge. According to reports, two Fridays ago, 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.
