The Major Crimes Unit of the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force has launched an investigation into the disappearance of some firearms and ammunitions from the armoury at the Georgetown Police Station.
The Police Public Relations and Complaints Department made the announcement in a terse statement Friday morning.
“The investigation was ordered by Commissioner of Police, Mr. Colin John immediately after the discovery was made,” the statement said.
The statement gave no information about the type of firearms and number of rounds of ammunition that are missing or the time frame in which they are believed to have gone missing, nor when they were found to be missing.
They may have been issued to the assassination squad.
