Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith says he was disappointed to see the type of comments on social media regarding the kidnapping of UWI employee, Maria Dass. Commissioner Griffith says the comments were "classless," and he can't understand why some citizens would think the TTPS does not seek the interest of all citizens, regardless of who they are or what they do. The Top Cop said Ms. Dass was abducted for five hours, until she was extracted by police in the Caura forest. She was forced to walk four miles into the Caura forest on Wednesday afternoon, kept in a makeshift camp by two kidnappers, and drugged. The kidnappers then awaited instructions from a third man, who ordered that the victim be removed to another location on Wednesday night. The kidnappers, however, had no idea that a joint team of police was at strategic locations along Caura Road waiting for them to move out of the area. Maria, who was asleep in the back seat of the car, was rescued and quickly taken to hospital where she was medically examined and later reunited with relieved relatives.
