Magistrate Tejnarine Ramroop discontinued an unlawful possession charge against a police officer when he appeared before him at the Blairmont Court on Monday.
It was alleged that between October 3 and 4, 2007 at Number 11 Village, West Coast Berbice, Rasheed Yussuf had in his possession one silver BMX pedal cycle reasonably suspected to be stolen or unlawfully obtained.
Yussuf who was attached to the Fort Wellington Police Station was originally charged with stealing the bicycle which was valued at $6,000.
His lawyer Joel Edmond objected to the charge and said his client was contemplating legal action, as “there was no issue of a missing bicycle.”
The magistrate discontinued both matters after receiving instructions from Director of Public Prosecutions Shalimar Ali-Hack.
