Charge dismissed against security firm boss

…DPP recommends other charges

The charge of receiving stolen articles against owner of Strategic Action Security Limited, Richard Kanhai, has been dismissed, but the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended charges in relation to the illegal articles, including the computers from the One Laptop Per Family programme, allegedly found on the man’s premises.
These were some outstanding matters that had engaged the attention of the DPP.
Kanhai appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at Vreed-en-Hoop Magistrate’s Court, West Bank Demerara, last Friday.
The complainant, Edward Persaud, whose plough was among a number of stolen items retrieved by ranks of the Guyana Police Force from the security firm’s Queenstown office, did not want to pursue the matter any further.
Over a month ago, the police had arrested Kanhai after a raid unearthed stolen items found on the man’s property.
Among the items recovered were several flat screen televisions and computers which were confirmed stolen last August from the Queenstown office of the government’s One Laptop Per Family (OLPF) project.
More than 100 of the laptops had disappeared from the OLPF bond.
