Three LESA wardens fired after being filmed snorting cocaine in work van
Officers were fired on Tuesday morning after being identified by management
Three law enforcement wardens have been dismissed from their positions after a video circulated shows them snorting cocaine inside a LESA van.
Sources close to LESA said the incident, which occurred on Monday, prompted immediate action from management.
The video depicted the wardens using the illicit substance in public while on duty. The wardens were not immediately identifiable, however.
LESA management identified the officers and terminated their employment on Tuesday.
The case was initially brought to public attention by lawyer Jason Azzopardi on Tuesday, who posted about the incident on Facebook, specifying that the wardens were inside an Isuzu LESA van.
He said the officers also drove LESA motorbikes and that the video was making the rounds on WhatsApp.
