In a heated dispute, a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) faces accusations after being found in possession of a stolen Toyota Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).
The original owner disputes the legitimacy of the public auction through which the ex-police chief claimed to have acquired the vehicle, citing discrepancies in the information provided.
The incident dates back a decade to a harrowing home invasion, where armed robbers not only stole valuable items but also the victim's 2006 model Toyota Highlander SUV.
The controversy raises questions about the transparency of police auctions, with the retired AIG defending his purchase while the original owner expresses outrage.
The investigation unfolds against the backdrop of conflicting narratives, highlighting the complexities surrounding the acquisition and auctioning of recovered vehicles within law enforcement circles.
The retired AIG contends that he was not directly involved in the auction but purchased the vehicle from an individual who acquired it through the authorized sale. As the story develops, legal implications and public scrutiny add layers to this unfolding controversy.
