Three cops under open arrest as probe continues into attempted sale of AK-47

As the probe continues into an attempt to smuggle an AK-47 rifle out of the Tactical Services Unit (TSU) Compound, Eve Leary, three of the five ranks implicated in the plot have been placed under open arrest.

This was confirmed by a reliable police source, who told Stabroek News that while the three ranks were allowed to go about their daily lives under open arrest, two others, including a Corporal, remain under close arrest with police supervision.

It is unclear if an implicated Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) is the other rank under close arrest.
