$6M in bail, ‘child support’ money vanishes from Police Station

Aug 11, 2014 News

 

– Police Sergeant under close arrest

A Police Sergeant in charge of financial matters at the Leonora Police Station is being asked to explain the disappearance of over $6M.
Police sources believe that the alleged culprit siphoned off the cash, comprising bail and payments for child maintenance over a period of years. There are suggestions that the fraud could exceed $8M.
Kaieteur News understands that the alleged fraud was unearthed recently after the recently appointed ‘D’ Division Commander, Senior Superintendent of Police Ian Amsterdam, ordered an audit of the station’s finances.
The Sergeant who has been the station’s Finance Officer for several years was placed under close arrest.
Police said charges are likely soon.
