Acting Commissioner of Police (CoP) Junior Benjamin has refuted claims the White Collar Crime Unit is investigating the financial records of suspended CoP Erla Harewood-Christopher as part of the investigation into the procurement of two sniper rifles.

The claims were made in a TT Guardian article on February 25.

"I want to emphatically state the TTPS is not conducting any investigation into her financial records. I have spoken to all concerned parties, including my senior officers both in the White Collar Crime Unit and the DCP, Investigation and Intelligence (INI), and it is absolutely conclusively clear: there is no such investigation being conducted."
