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

The in­ci­dent oc­curred around 5.50 pm on Au­gust 4 in San­gre Grande.

The of­fi­cer re­port­ed­ly parked her car along a road near First Cit­i­zens Bank 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 African male 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.
