Three ranks, a Sergeant and two Detectives attached to the Fort Wellington Police Station are now under close arrest after they reportedly stole and sold a large quantity of drugs which was intercepted last week in an abandoned car at the Number Six Public Road, West Coast Berbice (WCB).
According to reports received, surveillance footage indicated that the officers who arrived on the scene may have removed a quantity of the illegal drugs before taking pictures.
