A DEPUTY Commandant of the Island Special Constabulary Force (ISCF), got the shock of her life on Monday when she was held up and robbed of her Toyota motor car in the Mountain View Avenue area of St. Andrew.
Reports are that the female officer had gone to visit a popular school in the community, when she was pounced on by several young men who held her at gun-point and took the vehicle.
"Up to last night the vehicle was still not recovered," said Superintendent Calvin Benjamin, crime officer for Area Four.
Reports are that the officer's motor car is valued at over $700,000. The police are yet to apprehend any of the robbers.
Mountain View Avenue has long been considered dangerous terrain.
Over the past six years, at least three police personnel have been killed, and several others injured during separate confrontations between the police and criminals operating in the vicinity.
Following the frequent incidence of crime in the adjoining communities, the Government, last year, proposed to purchase a two storey building located near the intersection of Langston Road and Mountain View Avenue, which it intends to convert into a police station.
