Charge against police recruit dismissed
A trainee cop who was charged in October for stealing from his colleagues, appeared yesterday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and had his charge
Eustace Hunte
dismissed.
Eustace Hunte, 18, of 41 Liverpool Village, East Berbice Corentyne had denied the allegation that he, on July 22, last, at Felix Austin Police College, while being entrusted with one laptop valued $150,000, fraudulently converted the computer to his own use and benefit.
The court found that the police prosecution would have presented insufficient evidence that the defendant would have fraudulently converted the article to his own use.
The court based its decision on the fact that the article was last seen in an area that many traverse and anyone could have removed it.
As such Hunte was found not guilty of the charge.
