A SHIFT commander of Professional Guard Service (PGS) appeared Wednesday in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, charged for allegedly stealing a gun and ammunition from the said security firm.

The 38-year-old man denied the charges which stated that on October 9, 2018, at Subryanville, he stole one Smith and Wesson revolver valued at $109, 649, property of PGS.

It was further alleged that on the same day at the same location, he stole six live rounds of .38 ammunition, property of PGS. The man, who resides at 5b Tucville, Georgetown, was unrepresented. Police objected to bail based on the seriousness of the offence and the penalties it attract and the fact that the weapon nor the ammunition have yet been recovered.

According to the police facts, on the day in question, the accused was an employee at the guard service and had signed for uplifting the weapon and ammunition. Bail was granted by Magistrate Judy Latchman in the sum of $200,000 and the matter was adjourned to November 7, 2018.
