US$94,000 missing from police station

A report in the Trinidad Express Thursday states that police are investigating the disappearance of US$94,000 from the property room of the Couva Police Station.

The report said the money was an exhibit from a court matter resulting from a police raid at a house in Couva on Nov. 8 last year.

The money, which was in sealed envelopes and lodged at the station, was reported missing on Monday, the report said.

The paper quoted acting police commissioner James Philbert as saying that he has not yet taken any action "since I did not get full briefing on the matter". He said he only learned on Tuesday that the money was missing.

Police are still investigating other matters involving irregularities at police stations.

One of the matters involves the St Joseph Police Station where investigators found guns, ammunition, cocaine and marijuana hidden in the ceiling of the building. Philbert told reporters that investgation is "almost complete".
