Detectives have launched an investigation following the discovery of a large pool of blood near a George Town plaza.

Shortly after 9.00 am on Wednesday,  police received a report that there was, what appeared to be, blood on the sidewalk near Ed’s Plaza, North Sound Way, George Town.

When officers arrived at the location they found a large pool of blood. Forensic tests were carried out yesterday and again last night. The tests have confirmed that the blood is human.

Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said;  “It is possible that someone has been injured. If that is the case we need to find that individual to make sure that he or she has received medical treatment.  Searches of the area and checks with medical practitioners have, to date, proved negative. Investigations are continuing”
