Two police constables who were recently identified by a Brazilian national as
the men who allegedly stole a quantity of cash from him yesterday pleaded not guilty to the simple larceny charge after appearing before Magistrate Allan Wilson.
The two cops, Tramain Ross on cellular phone and Jermain Bernard on his left, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Tramain Ross, 21, of Linden and 20-year-old Jermain Bernard of Lot 753, West Minster, West Bank Demerara, were allegedly identified by the victim, Antonio De Brito, who fingered them as the thieves while making the report at the Alberttown Police Station
The
two
cops,
Tramain
Ross
on
cellular
phone
and
Jermain
Bernard
on
his
left,
at
the
Georgetown
Magistrates’
Court
yesterday.
The
court
heard
that
on
March
6th
in
Georgetown,
the
duo
allegedly
stole
$46,000
from
De
Brito.
Bernard
and
Ross
were
represented
by
Defense
Attorney,
Hewley
Griffith.
The
lawyer
asked
that
the
men
be
granted
bail
in
a
reasonable
amount
and
told
the
court
that
his
clients
were
still
serving
members
of
the
Guyana
Police
Force
(GPF).
The
prosecution
did
not
object
to
the
officers
being
granted
bail
and
they
were
placed
on
$15,000
each.
Cop
charged
with
taking
$100,000
bribe
According
to
initial
reports,
Ross
who
is
stationed
at
the
Alberttown
Police
Station
and
Bernard,
who
is
attached
to
the
Brickdam
Police
Station,
allegedly
stopped
the
Brazilian
national
at
Cummings
and
Light
Street
and
ask
to
see
his
documents.
It
is
alleged
that
the
foreigner’s
documents
were
in
order,
but
the
duo
still
demanded
$10,000
from
him.
When
the
Brazilian
took
out
the
money
to
give
the
cops,
they
allegedly
snatched
the
$46,000
out
of
his
hand.
Greene
moves
to
High
Court
to
block
rape
charge
(hustling
flesh)
Greene
has
denied
the
rape
allegations,
telling
investigators
that
the
sexual
encounter
with
the
woman
was
by
mutual
consent.
The
Brazilian,
it
is
understood,
went
to
the
Alberttown
Police
Station
to
report
the
matter
but
was
surprised
to
see
that
the
same
car
the
perpetrators
were
driving
earlier
was
parked
outside
the
station.
He
was
even
more
surprised
when
he
saw
the
alleged
culprits
inside
the
station.
The
two
officers
were
pointed
out
as
the
alleged
thieves.
The
police
have
since
seized
the
car
that
was
reportedly
transporting
the
two
officers.
They
will
return
to
Court
Two
on
March
22.
