Georgetown : The Guyana Police Force is responding to an article published in the Kaieteur News under the caption “Carjacked driver had to wait until police bought Chinese food”.
The Guyana Police Force is vigorously disputing the allegation that the ranks of the police mobile patrol were at a Chinese restaurant at the time when they were contacted by the victim, and that he had to wait until they were finished purchasing food and drinks before any action was taken on his report, as is claimed in the article.
This issue of the patrol ranks being at a Chinese restaurant is apparently a new dimension added to the matter, as it was raised and dealt with at a Community Outreach Meeting held by the Divisional Commander on Saturday last, at the Diamond Secondary School, and nothing of the sort was mentioned.
The Guyana Police Force says that upon receipt of the report, and taking into consideration the time that had elapsed since the commission of the alleged carjacking, the decision was taken by the patrol ranks at that stage to immediately inform other police patrols and stations of the incident via the radio communications network, rather than to pursue the perpetrator.
Efforts are continuing to be made in order to recover the stolen motor vehicle, which has not been located so far.
