The Royal Barbados Police Force has launched an investigation to find out how a local film crew was able to drive into Central Police Station and film a scene for a movie.
The NATION was reliably informed that police hierarchy was caught off-guard when Episode 10 of the popular movie series Badness aired in December showing a scene filmed on the compound of the station.
In that scene, two men acting as police officers casually drive into the station located at Coleridge Street, The City, and proceed to drive around the entire compound as they discuss killing some men on the block.
In the film, no real police officers are seen at the station and no sentry appeared to be at the gate.
When contacted, Deputy Commissioner Erwin Boyce said there was a protocol to be followed.
“You can’t do that. You can’t just come in and do what you want to do. There is a certain protocol involved. You [have] to report to the station officer or an officer at the gate.
“Obviously, it is something that we would investigate. I would assume that there is some effort to find out what happened.” (MB)
