“Stop call­ing and come and find me,” chal­lenged Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith as he re­spond­ed to a fifth death threat was made against him in four days.

Say­ing the death threats were get­ting “bor­ing,” Grif­fith said those who want­ed him dead should come out and find him, rather than waste the po­lice time and re­sources by call­ing in threats.

The fifth death threat was made against Grif­fith and the Leader of the Op­po­si­tion Kam­la Per­sad Bisses­sar around 2.50 pm on Sat­ur­day.

Guardian Me­dia was in­formed that the Po­lice Com­mand Cen­tre re­ceived a call in which the caller used a num­ber of ex­ple­tives.

The caller said he had two guns and was com­ing for Com­mis­sion­er Grif­fith and Per­sad-Bisses­sar.

In re­sponse, Grif­fith said, “This en­tire mat­ter is get­ting rather bor­ing.”

He not­ed the death threats proved that he was do­ing some­thing right, as it seems “cer­tain el­e­ments of il­le­gal trade were be­ing ham­pered.”

“It seems that some are try­ing to make them­selves fa­mous by threat­en­ing to kill me, but in­stead of grand charg­ing and bor­ing us, I would ask them to stop call­ing and come. They could find me. I promise to make them fa­mous,” he said.

The CoP said he does not need the en­dorse­ment or sup­port of crim­i­nals and those who com­mit vi­o­lent crimes, adding he pre­ferred to put them be­hind bars.

Ex­press­ing con­cerns that the ridicu­lous calls were wast­ing Po­lice time and re­sources, Grif­fith said the E999 was meant to be used for emer­gency sit­u­a­tions and not to is­sue death threats.

To date, three per­sons have been ar­rest­ed and charged for the of­fences.

Three sus­pects in­clud­ing a 12-year-old boy were ar­rest­ed ear­li­er last week, in sep­a­rate in­ci­dents for call­ing and mak­ing sim­i­lar threats on the life of the Com­mis­sion­er. The boy plead­ed guilty to the of­fence and was re­leased in­to his par­ents’ cus­tody on Wednes­day.

In one case, Mahin­dra Ram­nath, 35, was re­mand­ed to un­der­go a psy­chi­atric eval­u­a­tion af­ter he ap­peared in court on Thurs­day.

Ram­nath, a med­ical school drop-out from Palmyra Vil­lage, San Fer­nan­do is ac­cused of threat­en­ing to be­head the Com­mis­sion­er and kill his wife, Nicole Dy­er-Grif­fith. He will reap­pear in court on Jan­u­ary 16.

Calls to Per­sad Bisses­sar’s cell went unan­swered.
