(Trinidad Express) Two Highway Patrol police officers were in police custody last night after they were arrested in connection with the rape of a woman two weeks ago.
Up to yesterday evening, the constables were being questioned at two separate police stations.
Reports state that on the day of the incident, the officers were on mobile patrol close to the Caroni Bird Sanctuary when they noticed a parked car.
Upon looking into the vehicle, police said the officers noticed a man and a woman having sexual intercourse.
Investigators said the officers, one from Tabaquite and the other from Chaguanas, ordered the couple to dress before taking the woman to a location unknown to her where they both raped her.
They later dropped her off at another location before she reported the incident.
On Monday evening, a team of officers led by ASP Dookie arrested the officers.
Also seized from the officers were their police uniforms and other belongings which would be taken for testing. The officers would also be placed on identification parades, police said.
