Bogus policewoman held at Sando court

The woman, of Laventille Road, San Juan, appeared yesterday afternoon before a Justice of the Peace in the said courthouse to answer the charge. However, the JP denied bail and remanded her into custody to appear before a magistrate this morning.

Police reports stated, Cpl Crawford and other officers of the San Fernando CID observed the woman wearing a black t-shirt with the word “POLICE” imprinted at the front and back.

The front of the t-shirt also had the TTPS logo and motto. The t-shirt is similar to what police, who are based at the court, wear.

It is alleged that Crawford enquired if she was a member of the police service to which the woman responded in the affirmative.

When asked to produce her police identification, she directed Crawford to her personal vehicle nearby and subsequently confessed to being a civilian. The accused woman also claimed to be an accountant.
