Hard lesson: Bribe takers may have to start looking for ways to “secure” their loot while on duty.
According to reports, the man had emerged from the bushes, grabbed the officers’ stash, then vamoosed up a steep slope adjacent to the road.”There were two unarmed officers at the spot – male and female – the male officer attempted to run after the loot thief but the young man had timed his run well and was well into the thicket,” said a witness.
Moreover, the baton-carrying officers were on the lane opposite the spot where the loot was being kept, and the fact that the male officer had to check for traffic before crossing over gave the daredevil a few more seconds to dash away.
