A Deputy Superintendent of Police was abducted, beaten and robbed by gunmen in Portmore, St Catherine, last week.

The policeman, stationed in the Manchester division, was left nursing a broken nose, among other injuries, and was robbed of more than $40,000, THE STAR understands.

Reports are that the officer was at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) about 10:30 p.m., last Tuesday, where he had gone to withdraw money while in the company of two women.

Upon exiting the ATM, three armed men reportedly approached the group and ordered the officer and the women into his vehicle.

Further reports are that the officer was ordered to drive to the Bernard Lodge area, also in St Catherine, where he was beaten and robbed of $20,000 and US$240 (about J$21,000). The officer's private motor car was also reportedly stolen.
