Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the dis­ap­pear­ance of two kilo­grammes of mar­i­jua­na from the Ch­agua­nas Po­lice Sta­tion, months af­ter an of­fi­cer was charged in a sim­i­lar theft at the Barataria Po­lice Sta­tion.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice, the mar­i­jua­na was lodged at the Ch­agua­nas sta­tion for safe­keep­ing on Tues­day af­ter it was found ear­li­er that day. The drugs were part of an in­ves­ti­ga­tion by of­fi­cers out­side the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion, who re­turned yes­ter­day to re­trieve the ex­hibits.

Sources said the drugs were pho­tographed at the scene, with of­fi­cers con­firm­ing the pres­ence of a plant-like sub­stance re­sem­bling mar­i­jua­na. How­ev­er, when in­ves­ti­ga­tors re­turned to col­lect the ex­hibits, they dis­cov­ered the pack­ets had been re­placed with pieces of wood.
