No favourable outcome in abductions of Joshua David, Delon Alexander – Crime Chief
Authorities investigating the abductions of Joshua David and former police officer Delon Alexander have reported that, despite ongoing efforts, the intelligence gathered so far does not suggest any favourable outcomes.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum giving an update on the matter on Thursday, acknowledged that investigators have been working tirelessly to convert the information at hand into actionable evidence. However, he revealed that the current intelligence does not point to a positive resolution.
“The investigators are working along with some sources, and based on the intelligence we are in possession of, which we cannot disclose at this point, their intelligence is not suggesting anything favourable.”
He did, however, maintain that authorities are still hopeful that the men may be alive, though their current leads have not provided any conclusive answers.
David, known as “Bricks” among his peers, was abducted on September 26, 2024, outside a Georgetown restaurant. The police launched a search operation in Buxton and Annandale shortly after his disappearance, but no evidence has been uncovered. Despite the challenges, the investigation continues.
Several individuals, including Aaron Alleyne, Wayne Barker, Damion Barlow, Dwayne Griffith, Daventai Mars, Alpha Poole, and Osafo Peters, were charged in connection with the abduction, with each granted $500,000 bail.
In another case, Alexander, a former police officer, was abducted on May 7, 2024, from Good Road, Buxton. Alexander’s whereabouts remain unknown, with authorities continuing their search for leads.
It was reported that Alexander went to Strathspey, ECD to purchase building materials for their home which is currently under construction. He reportedly made arrangements for the materials to be dropped off at the construction site.
After completing his business, he reportedly boarded a minibus and came off at Benjamin’s Bakery in Buxton, ECD but was not seen or heard from since.
Back in 2018, Alexander who was then, a Police Constable attached to the Tactical Services Unit (TSU), Force Headquarters, was arrested with more than 45lbs of marijuana along the Cove and John Public Road. He was charged and was later dismissed from the force.
The investigations into both cases are ongoing, and the police have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in locating the missing men.
