Customs officer’s car burnt

Read storyA customs officer’s car was set on fire in front of a home in Sunset Park on Monday afternoon.

The car belonged to Gregory Mortimer, who is a senior officer of the customs department.

Police would not say whether they felt the fire was related to another blaze, which destroyed the home of customs officer Roslyn Ritchie last November.

Ritchie’s responsibilities included investigating corruption in the department and customs fraud.

Clive Schroeter was charged in connection with the home fire in January.
