ROSE HALL TOWN, CORENTYNE – Was it a case of lax security at the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost that allowed prisoner David Andrews to escape from the facility in the wee hours of Sunday morning?A police source close to the investigation said that this is definitely the case coupled with abuse of the neighbourhood police initiative.“When the prisoner escaped there was only a neighbourhood police (rural constable) rank on duty. Imagine the neighbourhood police rank was in charge of the shift.When the then Minister of Home Affairs, Gail Teixeira launched the Neighbourhood Police initiative in 2006, she said they would serve as the eyes and ears of the community and this in turn could enhance the intelligence gathering capability of the Police Force. They are to work in their communities not at police stations.”The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that on the night in question this neighbourhood police rank had worked a 12-hour shift and was then forced to work another 12 hours.“His shift ended and he got no relief so he had to work 24 hours in all. He called the corporal and the corporal told him to hold on. Twelve hours is more than enough for a man or any rank to work or be in charge of a station.“And like I said before, a neighbourhood police rank should not be working at a station. The same thing happened recently at Reliance Police Station when Vanderburgh was left with a neighbourhood police rank and the prisoner escaped. She was charged for that the other day.”The rank on duty at the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost was reportedly immediately placed under close arrest and the hunt is on for the escaped prisoner.However, another source from the Guyana Police Force denied that the rank in question was a neighbourhood police rank, “No, he is a full police. He got regulation number and all that. But it was a case of negligence.”According to the latter source, during the course of their internal investigation, several versions were given of what took place. “One time we hear the main door had a padlock.Another time it was the cell door that had a padlock and it wasn’t squeezed in. The next time was that the padlock sprawled out. Different versions we getting. But I think they tek pay and the prisoner get away.“The corporal was supposed to be there. The rank worked a 24-hour shift, he worked through the night and nobody relieved him.”The file is to be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution for advice on how to proceed with the matter but the main focus now is on finding the escaped prisoner.
