The men removing the motorcycle from the Amelia’s Ward Police Outpost
According to reports, a policeman had taken to the outpost a black-and-grey Skylar motorcycle which did not have a number plate, and had requested that it be lodged there.
While the vehicle was being processed, another rank at the outpost observed a white, open-back vehicle with a licence plate marked “ON TEST” entering the compound. Two men were in the front portion of this vehicle and three young men were in the back thereof.
The men in the front portion of this vehicle disembarked the vehicle and, without even approaching the police for permission, proceeded to remove the lodged motorcycle despite being informed that they could not remove same from the compound.
In defiant response, the police ranks were told, “I don’t have time! The police can do what they wanna do!”
as the men proceeded to load the motorcycle onto the vehicle before driving away.
The stolen motorcycle has since been recovered at the home of one of the suspects. It is currently lodged at the Mackenzie Police Station as investigations continue. In the meantime, the police are seeking to apprehend the men involved in the incident.
