Man robbed on airport run maintains perpetrators were cops

Almost a month after three persons were robbed on the East Bank of millions of dollars by men dressed as police officers, one of the victims maintains that the perpetrators were actual officers and not mere impersonators.

Parmanand Teekaram, 39, of 52 Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara said… “I can’t feel that it’s civilian robbing people; it has to be police. These persons have police uniform.” Teekaram, a taxi driver, said the uniforms seemed very authentic. “Everything was correct; it’s just that the man with the blue and black uniform didn’t have on a badge but everything else was down to the tee.”

Teekaram also opined that security was a major issue for persons travelling to and from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport (CJIA), Timehri and said that there ought to be more police patrols. According to Teekaram, the distances between police stations are great and allow bandits to make easy getaways.

“Officials don’t do nothing for ordinary citizens them,” the man lamented

If AK47s can disappear from under the watchful eyes of the Army; what about some lousy Police uniform?....just saying.

Boy oh boy, I think I can understand this man's sentiment. I don't know if it is the cops doing it or not but I wouldn't be surprise if police corruption was behind the robbery. In America, cops do this type of stuff all the time. They don't really go after the major drug lords or known criminals in the corporate world. They usually assault innocent civilians and typically steal stuff from their homes after searching. This happened to my brother a few years ago when cops pulled him over with a bogus charge of his license plates supposedly being expire - it wasn't - and searched his vehicle and personal possessions to find $242 in his wallet. They took the money and my brother went to court to plead his case of being violated and etc.  but never got the money back.
