Did a police constable score an own goal? Did he start cutting a tree branch while sitting on it? Well, this is the case that flying squad constable Elias Shikuku found himself in! Shikuku must be a daring officer! Can you afford to steal something that serves you and sell it? Then what do you think will serve you?
Constable Elias Shikuku, who was nabbed by flying Squad detectives on Thursday, allegedly stole a Toyota Land Cruiser that was detained at the Unit’s Yard in 2017, changed the number plates & sold it. Was he scoring an own goal?
The Directorate of Criminal investigations (DCI) reported the incident via its official twitter account on Friday.
