Residents of St Mary's Village Moruga are calling on the Police Commissioner to intervene in an investigation in their community.

They claim police have been pursuing a report of a kidnapping and assault from a man they say vandalised the properties of five people last weekend.

The residents tell reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh, police are yet to take their reports and have instead been prioritising what they call, inaccurate statements, from the real perpetrator.
