THE Police Complaints Authority (PCA) is promising to undertake a comprehensive investigation into the matter of the missing ammunition from the police’s possession.
The PCA in a media release on Monday stated that pursuant to Section 26 of the PCA Act, Chapter 15:05, it has independently initiated an investigation into the alleged disappearance of seized ammunition from the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS).
PCA stated, “Several similar reports of missing exhibits and seized items in the custody of the TTPS have been investigated by the PCA which has the sole remit under Section 48 (2) to investigate criminal offences involving police officers, police corruption and serious police misconduct. The allegation of missing ammunition from the TTPS is a matter of great concern, and the PCA will undertake a comprehensive investigation into this matter.”
The PCA also invited members of the public to share any information they may have related to the investigation and that all information received will be confidential.
