Trinidad: Senior cop caught stealing ladies’ underwear

(TRINIDAD GUARDIAN) A po­lice sergeant on va­ca­tion was al­leged­ly caught steal­ing women’s un­der­wear at PriceS­mart in Ch­agua­nas yes­ter­day. Up to last evening, the of­fi­cer was be­ing ques­tioned by his col­leagues at the Ch­agua­nas Po­lice Sta­tion in con­nec­tion with the theft.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 2.30 pm an em­ploy­ee saw a man walk­ing along the aisle pick­ing up the panties and push­ing them in­to his pock­ets. When the man walked out of the store he was stopped by se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cers who found the un­der­wear in his pos­ses­sion. The man, the re­port stat­ed, iden­ti­fied him­self as a po­lice of­fi­cer, gave his reg­i­men­tal num­ber and the sta­tion he was as­signed to. How­ev­er, he said he was on va­ca­tion.

The man was lat­er hand­ed over to PC Vil­lafana and Duprey, who ar­rest­ed him at the store and took him to the po­lice sta­tion. In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
