Court hears bogus cop signs for, uplifts police radio set

Apr 12, 2013 News

 
A man who pretended to be an active rank of the Guyana Police Force and managed to obtain a radio headset from the Brickdam station is now cooling off in the Camp Street Prison.
Casey Maloney, an ex-rank of the Guyana Police Force, pleaded not guilty when the charge of intent to defraud was read to him yesterday by Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Attorney at Law, Paul Fung-A-Fat, who stood in Maloney’s defence stated that his client was instructed by another officer to enter the Station and retrieve the headset, and he did not do so by pretending to be what he is not.
Prosecutor Vishnu Hunte begged to differ with regard to the lawyer’s line of defence. He related to the court that on April 6 and 7, the 21-year-old Maloney, of Third Street Agricola, entered the Brickdam Police Station claiming to be Special Constable Maloney, and during his period of pretence, he signed, uplifted and lodged the handset after use.
Prosecution strongly objected to bail based on the punishment the misdemeanor attracts and if granted the bond he may not return for his trial.
The defendant, who was subsequently remanded, is scheduled to return to court on April 24.
