A 22 year-old police constable, attached to the Specialized Operations Branch, is in custody.
He's one of four men arrested early Sunday morning on suspicion of robbery and praedial larceny in Clarendon.
The constable, who lives in Rectory Land, May Pen, was arrested on the Morgan Pass main road on suspicion of possessing a prohibited weapon, robbery, and praedial larceny.
Three other suspects—two of them teenagers, all from the same community—were also arrested.
The police say, around 3:40 a.m., officers intercepted a grey Toyota Probox with four men on board. There were three goats in the vehicle, according to the police.
A search of the vehicle reportedly turned up a Glock 19 pistol with twelve rounds, two cellphones, a laptop, and a one-strap bag.
In a dramatic twist, investigators say the constable was later taken to his home for a search, when he allegedly leapt through a window in an attempt to escape but was quickly recaptured.
