CoP vex over hard drive missing from Fraud Squad

Police Commissioner Gary Griffith has ordered the head of the Professional Standards Bureau, acting assistant commissioner of police Totaram Dookhie, to investigate the disappearance of a hard drive from the Port of Spain branch of the Fraud squad.

The exhibit, which was seized during a raid on a suspect’s home was last seen in the possession of the officers who carried out the raid.

An angry Griffith, who was not officially told of the disappearance, shot back today, taking aim at senior police who failed to inform him.

He said, “Obviously someone dropped the ball. I expect information to be sent to me, not to read it in a newspaper. There must be real-time information, for immediate response and action."
