A Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice Of­fi­cer at­tached to a spe­cialised unit in the North­ern Di­vi­sion was kid­napped and robbed yes­ter­day af­ter she with­drew cash from an Au­to­mat­ed Teller Ma­chine (ATM) in the San­gre Grande. 

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, around 5:50 pm the of­fi­cer made a with­draw­al and was re­turn­ing to her ve­hi­cle when she was ac­cost­ed by an as­sailant. The sus­pect forced her in­to the pas­sen­ger seat of the ve­hi­cle and pro­ceed­ed to oc­cu­py the dri­ver’s seat. The of­fi­cer was re­lieved of her cell phone and the cash and jew­ellery in her pos­ses­sion.  

The rob­ber then de­mand­ed more cash. The sus­pect then drove the ve­hi­cle in­to Port of Spain, against the will of the of­fi­cer, and forced her to with­draw more cash from an­oth­er ATM. The as­sailant then stopped a car along Broad­way se­cur­ing his es­cape. The in­ci­dent was re­port­ed to the Port of Spain Po­lice and in­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
