A Durban Street resident is calling on the relevant authorities to take action against police officers who he said robbed himself and a friend as they awaited a taxi to attend a farewell celebration at a popular night club.The man, Wesley Philroy Martin, said the police took $10,000 each from himself and a friend after accusing them of being involved in robberies.Wesley MartinMartin, a father of two,Cheap NFL Jerseys, told Kaieteur News that around 00:30hours Wednesday, he and a friend were standing on the corner of Broad and Ketley Streets, Charlestown, awaiting a taxi to go to a nightclub where they were scheduled to celebrate another friend’s imminent migration.Martin said whilst he and Chris (the only name given), stood on the road corner, a police jeep with about five officers pulled up and told them that a lot of robberies were taking place in the area. Martin said that the police asked if they knew about the robberies and they both denied; while he (Martin) told the officers that he works and has two children to maintain.Martin claimed that the officers, after disembarking their vehicle, asked him and his friend to go into the van. Prior to that, he said the police conducted a search of his person and the friend and found him (Martin) with $27,000 and the friend with over $40,000 along with two cell phones.Martin said he explained to the police that his friend was going away the next day and they were going to celebrate. He said one policeman’s reply was, “Oh, this one going away? Y’all is thief.” Martin recounted said that was when they were placed to lie down in the back of the van.He continued that while in the vehicle the police roughed him up and slapped him around. He said he told the police that he was uncomfortable and one rank replied, “When you in police vehicle you can’t mek yuhself comfortable.” That same rank, Martin said, then placed a boot on his face as he lay in the back of the police vehicle.The police, Martin continued, said they were going to take him and his friend to the Diamond Police Station and on Monday they would be going on an identification parade. Martin said although he pleaded with the police, explaining that he was a hard working father of two, the police continued to tell them that they were thieves.For some time, Martin explained, the ranks drove around until they finally stopped at the back of Parliament Buildings in the vicinity of the Linden bus park and asked, “Wha’ pocket ya’ll got? Wha’ y’all gon do fuh y’all self?” Martin said he of course understood the police “language” but told the ranks that he had nothing (no money).The police he said reiterated that they were going to arrest them and later took $10,000 from each of them. After that, Martin said the police let them out of the vehicle and ordered them not to call anyone and not to take any taxi. He said the police told them to walk up Hadfield Street and then go on their business.Yesterday morning, Martin said he went to the Tactical Services Unit at Brickdam where he claimed he saw the head of TSU and related his story. The Officer, he said, told him to return to TSU this morning and relate the story before the ranks the allegation is levied against.The man said he wants his $10,000 back along with that of his friend. He said he works for small wages and $10,000 is a lot to lose, especially having to take care of two daughters. When Kaieteur News contacted the TSU Enquires Office, they were unable to say whether a report was indeed made by Martin. Numerous calls to TSU Head Lyndon Alves’ office were unanswered.
