Two po­lice con­sta­bles have been de­tained in con­nec­tion with the rape of a woman in Ca­roni two weeks ago.The of­fi­cers, who were last as­signed to the Freeport Po­lice Sta­tion High­way Pa­trol De­part­ment, were ar­rest­ed on Mon­day night by in­ves­ti­ga­tors from the Pro­fes­sion­al Stan­dards Unit.The unit, which was es­tab­lished in 2010 by for­mer Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Dwayne Gibbs, is man­dat­ed to in­ves­ti­gate crim­i­nal com­plaints against po­lice of­fi­cers.

The law­men, both in their 20s, from Tabaquite and En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas, re­mained de­tained sep­a­rate­ly at the Barataria and Ch­agua­nas Po­lice Sta­tions up to late yes­ter­day.Po­lice sources said one of the of­fi­cers was the fa­ther of a six-year-old boy while the oth­er of­fi­cer's wife is preg­nant.Both re­cent­ly joined the T&T Po­lice Ser­vice af­ter serv­ing as SRPs (Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice) for sev­er­al years, po­lice sources said.

The in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the of­fi­cers' on-du­ty con­duct be­gan two weeks ago when a woman re­port­ed she had been raped by them.The woman told in­ves­ti­ga­tors she and her boyfriend were parked near the Ca­roni Bird Sanc­tu­ary around mid­night when a marked po­lice ve­hi­cle, with flash­ing sirens, pulled along­side them.The woman claimed the of­fi­cers ap­proached them and af­ter a short con­ver­sa­tion or­dered her in­to their ve­hi­cle.

She said she fol­lowed their com­mands be­cause she felt she was be­ing tak­en to the po­lice sta­tion to be charged.How­ev­er, in­stead she was tak­en to a des­o­late area in Ch­agua­nas where the of­fi­cers took turns rap­ing her.They then dropped her off in Ch­agua­nas. The woman found her way to the Ch­agua­nas Po­lice Sta­tion where she made a re­port.The woman was then med­ical­ly ex­am­ined at the Ch­agua­nas Health Fa­cil­i­ty where it was proven she had been sex­u­al­ly as­sault­ed.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said the of­fi­cers were co-op­er­at­ing with them and are ex­pect­ed to be charged with rape, af­ter par­tic­i­pat­ing in iden­ti­fi­ca­tion pa­rades lat­er this week.In­ves­ti­ga­tors yes­ter­day vis­it­ed both of­fi­cers' homes and of­fice, where they con­fis­cat­ed their uni­forms and oth­er po­lice-is­sued items.In a brief tele­phone in­ter­view yes­ter­day evening, Supt John­ny Abra­ham, of the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion, con­firmed the in­ves­ti­ga­tion."I heard about it but we are not in­ves­ti­gat­ing. The Pro­fes­sion­al Stan­dards Unit in­ves­ti­gates that," Abra­ham said.

ASP Dook­ie is prob­ing the in­ci­dent.
