Prisoner mysteriously vanishes from La Grange lock-ups

Police on the West Coast of Demerara got the shock of their lives yesterday morning when they turned up at La Grange Police Station to collect an armed robbery and burglary suspect for court, only to find that the cell he was being held in was empty.
Two Constables who were tasked with guarding him are in hot water over the mysterious disappearance.
This newspaper was reliably informed by a senior police official on the West Side that the man, whose name was given as Travis Joseph, called Travis Rose, was held in the lock-ups over the weekend, having been arrested last Friday.
He is suspected of being involved in armed robberies committed all the way in Berbice and had sought refuge in the Westminster area, to avoid incarceration.
However, his criminal instincts did not desert him for long and he soon returned to his thieving ways.
According to the source, the man was recently fingered in the burglary of a policeman’s house.
