Cop manhandles Covent Garden Secondary student after teacher’s phone goes missing

The student being grabbed by teachers and the police ranks

The Ministry of Education is investigating the circumstances that led to two uniformed members of the Guyana Police Force entering the Covent Garden Secondary School’s compound and manhandling a male student.

The incident occurred last week after a teacher lost her iPhone.

This newspaper learned that the teacher summoned a friend who is a police officer to the school, located on the East Bank of Demerara, rather than making an official report to the Police Station.
