Guard charged for stealing gun, ammo from employer

An employee of the Professional Guard Service was on Wednesday released on $200,000 bail when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for larceny.
Mark Joseph appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman charged for stealing a gun and its matching ammunition. It is alleged that on October 9, 2018, at Subryanville, Georgetown, he stole one Smith and Wesson .38 revolver valued at $109,649, property of Professional Guard Service. Another charge stated that on the same day, he stole six live rounds of .38 ammunition valued at $1025, also property of the Professional Guard Service.
On Wednesday, the court heard that the firearm and ammunition were not recovered.
Police Prosecutor Warren Thornhill made no objections to bail being granted to the 38-year-old man.
As a result, Magistrate Latchman released Joseph on $150,000 bail for the theft of the revolver charge and $50,000 for the ammunition charge.
The case will continue on November 7, 2018.
