A Spe­cial Re­serve Po­lice Of­fi­cer (SRP) of Fish­ing Pond, San­gre Grande, was kid­napped and robbed on Thurs­day as she left a bank af­ter with­draw­ing $400 in cash.

The in­ci­dent oc­curred around 5.50 pm in San­gre Grande.

Po­lice said the SRP re­port­ed­ly parked her car along a road near First Cit­i­zens and uti­lized the fast ser­vice ma­chine.

As she was about to re-en­ter the car, the sus­pect al­leged­ly grabbed her by the throat and warned her, “Don’t make ah scene or I will kill you.”

Forc­ing her over to the pas­sen­ger seat, the sus­pect got in­to the dri­ver’s seat and re­lieved the of­fi­cer of TT $400 in cash; one gold chain val­ued at TT $1,400; one gold ring val­ued at TT $2,500; two gold bands; and one Sam­sung cell phone.

Af­ter de­mand­ing more mon­ey from the vic­tim, the sus­pect re­port­ed­ly drove the of­fi­cer to RBC, In­de­pen­dence Square, Port-of-Spain and en­tered the fast-ser­vice area with her and or­dered her to with­draw TT $3,000 in cash.

He then forced her back in­to the car and as he drove along Broad­way – he stopped the car and ran off in a souther­ly di­rec­tion.

The of­fi­cer made her way to the Cen­tral Po­lice Sta­tion (CPS), St Vin­cent Street and re­port­ed the in­ci­dent.

The vic­tim was lat­er tak­en for med­ical treat­ment.

In­ves­ti­gat­ing of­fi­cials re­quest­ed the CCTV footage from the bank and that has since been for­ward­ed to the Cy­ber Crimes Unit.

The car was processed and fin­ger­prints were al­so ob­tained.

Cpl Ram­nar­ine of the CPS is con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.

“Boss” tells co­horts wrong man ab­duct­ed

And a St Joseph man who was kid­napped by four masked men from his bed­room dur­ing the wee hours of Au­gust 2, was lat­er re­turned af­ter the “boss” ad­mit­ted the wrong man had been snatched.

The 28-year-old vic­tim told po­lice he was asleep and around 1.15 am, when he was awak­ened by a noise.

As he sat up, he saw four men sur­round­ing the bed.

Dragged to the edge of the mat­tress, he was blind­fold­ed and tak­en out­side to a wait­ing ve­hi­cle.

Af­ter be­ing dri­ven to an un­known lo­ca­tion in east Trinidad where he was strung up, beat­en and tor­tured as they de­mand­ed to know about a par­tic­u­lar sum of mon­ey – the vic­tim was cut down af­ter he kept deny­ing any such knowl­edge.

Af­ter a short while, the kid­nap­pers con­tact­ed the man in charge, fol­low­ing which a video call was placed and the vic­tim’s face was held up to the cam­era.

It was then that the man on the oth­er end said, “That aint him.”

As the call end­ed, the sus­pects again blind­fold­ed the in­jured vic­tim and placed him in the trunk of the car, be­fore they drove back to Farm Road, St Joseph and left him at the side of the road.
