2 CANU ranks accused of stealing from detainee

Two officers from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) are now under investigation for alleged simple larceny. The Guyana Police Force has taken both officers into custody as they assist in the ongoing investigation.
According to sources, the incident took place during a CANU operation in Berbice, where an individual was detained on suspicion of involvement in illicit activities. It is alleged that during the operation, the two CANU officers stole items from the detainee.
The undisclosed stolen items were reportedly taken without the knowledge or consent of their fellow officers. The GPF has since confirmed that both individuals are currently in custody.
