Cops caught in bribery sting
November 22, 2005
TWO POLICEMEN assigned to the St. Andrew South Police Division were on Saturday arrested by members of the Internal Affairs Anti-Corruption Unit of the Professional Standards Branch (PSB).
The men, both constables, are attached to the Hunts Bay Police Station.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Novelette Grant, who heads the PSB, confirmed that the men were arrested on Hagley Park Road. She said they were in the process of collecting money when members of the Anti-Corruption Unit stepped in and arrested them.
However, ACP Grant would not go into the details of the case, which she said is being handled by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). She said that because the policemen have not been charged, their names have not been released.
"Corruption seems to be involved, because they were caught collecting money, that's all I'm going to say now," she told The Gleaner yesterday.
The ACP also refused to comment on the identity of the complainant the policemen were conspiring to take the money from.
