Two-hour manhunt for former Gurkha officer
-
A former Gurkha officer was captured by the police on Monday after a two-hour manhunt in a forested area in Pasir Ris.
The 35-year-old, who last held the rank of police constable, was arrested for desertion, said the police, responding to queries from The Straits Times.
Investigations into the case are still in progress but it is understood that he had failed to report back to camp as ordered.
The Gurkha contingent in Singapore, which is now about 2,000-strong, was formed in 1949. Based in Mount Vernon Camp, the officers are usually assigned to escort duties and to guard key installations.
