Police confirm that “wanted bulletin” circulating on social media is a fake and could be sheer malice

The Police say they have no knowledge of a so-called “wanted
bulletin” for the detention of a young woman, which is now in
circulation.
 
A picture of the female, with the claim that “the above is wanted by
Dockyard Police for fraud and breaking” is making the rounds on
social-media platforms.
 
The bulletin also asks persons to apprehend the young woman if she
is seen.
 
This request is what raised concerns about the legitimacy of the
bulletin, as, normally, the Police will caution residents against
approaching anyone who is wanted in connection with a crime.
 
Additionally, wanted bulletins are rarely issued for offences of fraud
and break-ins.
 
Stratcom was contacted about the bulletin, and Inspector Frankie
Thomas said he does not know who the woman is; nor is he aware of
such a bulletin being issued by his office or by the commissioner of
police.
 
He confirms that no officer from his department could have put out
that notice since that is not how the department operates. And since
the bulletin did not come from the Police, Thomas says it is not
recognized.
 
The police inspector says information might later surface that the
so-called bulletin is a case of maliciousness.

Another source says that the publication of false information about
an individual, with the intent to ruin their reputation, could also be
deemed a cyber crime.
