The three policemen—one corporal and two constables— who were under close arrest for an alleged corrupt transaction, were on Monday charged with simple larceny.
However, the matter was dismissed after the virtual complainant decided that he did not want to offer further evidence in the matter.
The men Corporal Michael Campbell, 34, and constables Reginald Jonas, 32, and Curt Glasgow, 25, all members of the Guyana Police Force and stationed at the Central Police Station were charged on November 27, last, at Palmyra, East Coast Berbice. They allegedly stole two flasks of Mercury valued $1M, property of Phillip John Sampson a businessman of No. 78 Village Corentyne.
It is understood that on the day in question the three officers were on duty. They mounted a road block between 17:00 hrs and 18:00 hrs in the vicinity of the Berbice Bridge. During the time the men stopped a vehicle being driven by Sampson who was returning from Georgetown.
The man had 10 flasks of Mercury in his car. He eventually provided proof that he had legally obtained the items from one Jerome Khan from Georgetown. However the police disregarded his documents and demanded $1M or they will take two flasks of the mercury. The man did not agree with the bargain and the police seized the two flasks of mercury.
The man then reported the matter and the three policemen were arrested and placed under close arrest.
In court the man swore that he did not want to offer any further evidence in the matter. According to a reliable source, an out of court settlement was arrived at between the parties.
