Two ex-Guyana Power and Light employees yesterday appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate, Melissa Robertson, charged with demanding money with menace.
It is alleged that on September 23, last, at Craig, East Bank Demerara, Solomon Jones and Jermaine James demanded $60,000 from one Shionjali Sheumber.
The prosecutor told the court that the two men, aged 28 and 36 respectively, had been relieved of their duties two weeks prior to the September 23 incident.
Sheumber told the court that on the said day, the two men, who both worked in the Disconnection Department at GPL, and were dressed in GPL uniforms, accused her of stealing electricity and told her that they would take away her meter if she did not pay them $60,000.
Fearing that she would lose her meter, Sheumber paid the men the amount they demanded, she then made a report to the police.
Counsel representing the two men informed the court that the virtual complainant had decided not proceed with the matter, provided that she got her money back.
Jones and James were able to pay Sheumber the full amount, and were also made to pay cost to the court by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson (ag), for wasting the court’s time.
