Police Sergeant Rodwell Sarabo, who spearheaded a team that dismantled a major carjacking operation earlier this year, was yesterday named 2018’s overall ‘Best Cop’ by the Guyana Police Force at its annual awards ceremony.

The New Amsterdam-born rank, who was also awarded the title of ‘Best Detective’ in 2015, was honoured for his years of service during which he solved a number of high profile crimes such as murders, firearm offences, robbery under arms, frauds and gang-related crimes.

He received a trophy and $250,000 cash during the ceremony which was held at the Tactical Services Unit Square, Eve Leary.
