The ex-cop who attempted to steal an off-duty Policeman’s car was on Friday remanded to prison when he appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly.
Ryan Charles, 33, of Red Road, Sophia, Greater Georgetown, denied the charge which stated that on December 19, 2017 at South Ruimveldt, he attempted to carjack a Toyota motor car, property of Rawle Alexander.
The facts of the matter revealed that on the day in question around 10:30h, the plain clothes 32-year-old Constable, of Cane View Avenue, South Ruimveldt Park, Georgetown, parked his Silver Toyota Carina 212 motor car at Second Street, Alberttown, Georgetown, to go into a nearby store.
The officer reportedly left his car keys in the ignition. However, when he returned just mere minutes after, he noticed a male racing away west on Second Street with his vehicle, turning south into Cummings Street.
The perpetrator, in his bid to escape, crashed the car into two parked vehicles, motor van GVV 9639 and vehicle PNN 2387 a short distance away.
As such, he was apprehended and taken into custody where he was identified as an ex-Policeman.
He was remanded and was expected to return to court on January 26, 2018.
