POLICE sergeant, Relando Sandy, on Thursday, found himself on the wrong side of the law, when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing a firearm from the Guyana Police Force.

Sandy, 36, of Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara appeared before Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus and denied that, between 23rd and 24th January 2023, at Rabbit Walk, Georgetown, he stole a glock 17 9mm pistol, which belonged to the Government of Guyana.

His attorney, Patrice Henry, made an application for bail on the grounds that his client was not a flight risk and was ready to clear his name.

With no objection from the prosecutor, the Chief Magistrate released Sandy on $100,000 bail. The matter was adjourned until June 13.
