Progress update note

Speaking to the police, GSA staff was told by an officer that the drivers failed to stop therefore his superior asked him to pursue them and bring them back to the check point. On hearing this, GSA staff asked the officer why were the two other trucks in front of these ones not stopped if they claimed they failed to stop? The officer said he cannot say anything since he was just ordered. Then GSA staff asked to speak to the said superior once they get to the check point.

On their arrival at the check point, GSA staff asked the said superior the same question he asked the first officer but didn't receive any answer.
