A Police Constable is being commended for his gallantry after he single-handedly traced a convicted bandit and later arrested him after he was found with an unlicensed gun and matching ammunition.
On March 9th Constable Davidson was driving his car along the Albion Public Road when he observed a silver-grey Toyota Premio made a U-turn.
While making the U-turn, the driver 23-year-old Daneshwar Seitaram caused a motorcyclist to lose control and fall tot he ground.
The motorcyclist took off his full faced helmet and police rank recognized him to be Curtis Fraser who was convicted for armed robbery.
As a result, Const. Davidson stopped to observe the movements and noticed that Fraser entered the car, prompting the rank to follow the vehicle.
The car stopped at Hampshire Ballfield and Fraser exited the left rear seat, took out a shiny object from his waist. He immediately threw the object in the direction of a trench when the police rank shouted at him.
Davidson then went up to Fraser, arrested him and took him to the location of the shiny object which he observed to be a gun.
It was picked up and on checking same, the rank found it to be a .38 revolver with five matching rounds. He was told of the offence, cautioned and taken to the Albion Police Station where the firearm was marked, sealed and lodged. Fraser is in custody pending charge.
