Unreasonable police action
published: Wednesday | March 30, 2005

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I WOULD like to comment on a headline in a daily newspaper dated March 17, 2005 ­ 'Manhunt still on for security guards'.

While I congratulate the police on their massive weapon find in August Town, I find it amazing that Jamaican police are searching, in Jamaica, for two security guards who robbed an armoured truck of millions of United States dollars, Canadian dollars, and British pounds and left neatly stacked on the seat ­ J$30 million. Are the police of the opinion that these people are still in Jamaica?

I posed this question to an 11-year-old, and he was convinced that the perpetrators left the Jamaican dollars because they have no use for it, having made their escape from the island on the same day of the robbery.

This to me, seems feasible. The action of the police, as reported in your paper seems unreasonable.

I am, etc.,
