Four po­lice­men who were cap­tured on tape al­leged­ly steal­ing $96,000 from a casi­no in Dun­can Vil­lage are ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore a San Fer­nan­do mag­is­trate on Tues­day.

The of­fi­cers who are re­port­ed­ly at­tached to an elite crime fight­ing unit in the South­ern Di­vi­sion were ar­rest­ed on Fri­day night.

Po­lice re­ports in­di­cate that the of­fi­cers were tak­en to the An­ti-Cor­rup­tion Bu­reau in Port-of-Spain where war­rants were read to them.

Spec­i­fied in each war­rant is that the two con­sta­bles and two cor­po­rals be grant­ed $150,000 bail and that they be made to sur­ren­der their pass­ports. They were ar­rest­ed fol­low­ing a rob­bery at Club Av­enue 5, Dun­can Vil­lage, San Fer­nan­do, on Au­gust 21.

Po­lice re­spond­ed to a re­port of a rob­bery at the casi­no. They ar­rest­ed two sus­pects, seized $38,000 and re­cov­ered a shot gun and am­mu­ni­tion.

The sur­veil­lance tapes re­vealed men in po­lice uni­form tak­ing mon­ey from a vault and stuff­ing their pock­ets.
