The police are in the process of preparing two files to send to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice pertaining to the discovery of stolen items, worth millions of dollars, reportedly found in a Government security contractor’s building. The items including several Government’s One Laptop Per Family laptops (OLPF), speakers, several flat screen TVs, and even a plough were discovered in a secured building during a police raid on June 19. The owner of Strategic Action Security was taken into police custody the said night and was later released on bail. However, the length of time the police are taking with the matter has been worrying concerned observers. But, according to Police Commissioner (ag.), Leroy Brumell, the police are trying to conduct thorough investigations to present proper files to the DDP so that the cases would not be thrown out. He noted that two investigations are ongoing – one on the West Demerara and the other in Georgetown. According to a source, ranks of the Criminal Investigation Department of Leonora Police Station are compiling a file to be sent to the DPP. Residents who went to La Grange Police Station to verify if their items were among the loot, answered in the affirmative. And, officials attached to the OLPF programme have confirmed that the laptops were among the set stolen from the OLPF head office in Queenstown last August, the source said. It is reported that Security Action Security was the firm contracted by Government to secure the OLPF building. Investigators were reportedly tipped off that several stolen items were sold to someone at the address of Strategic Action Security. Police ranks searched the security company’s offices and later moved over to a back building that is part of the compound. They reportedly forced open a secured area. It was there that they made the discoveries. Included in the haul was said to be a computer power backup system with a Ministry of Health marking on it. Apparently, police in the West Demerara area had arrested a number of persons for theft. Those arrested reportedly claimed they sold the items to a Queenstown businessman whom they named.
