Security officers charged with $3.2M theft

Three security officers attached to Massy Security Limited on Wednesday appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to a larceny charge after they were accused of stealing $3.2 million.
Clarence Patterson, Shawn Goodluck and Cosmo Chichester were jointly charged and entered a not-guilty plea.
The robbery occurred on November 13, 2017, at Charlotte and Oronoque Streets, Georgetown.
Police Prosecutor Simone Payne told the Court that on the day in question, the security officers collected the money bags containing the cash from Marics and Company Limited to be deposited at Republic Bank.
However, the Company later discovered that the monies were not deposited and reported the matter to the Police.
The trio was released on $200,000 bail each and the matter was adjourned to April 25, 2018.
