Cedros police constable Russell Bedasse has resigned, accusing colleagues of ignoring his missing person report after his mother vanished last week.

He last spoke to 57-year-old Shelawaithie “Meera” Bedasse around 8 am on September 23, but when calls went unanswered, he alerted Cedros Police.

Despite this, he claims no urgent action was taken, forcing him to investigate on his own.
