A policewoman and a man who allegedly forged a document to obtain several items from Courts Guyana Inc., Main Street, were both remanded to prison on Wednesday when they appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
Alicia Gordon and Stanton Welcome both pleaded not guilty to the charge of uttering a forged document.
It is alleged that on December 4 Gordon uttered a forged document to a Courts Guyana Inc. sales representative purporting that she was working at a business and was in a position to obtain a music set and a freezer on behalf of them.
Prosecutor Denise Griffith stated that on the day in question at about 2.30 pm, Gordon went to the Courts, Main Street branch and ordered on hire purchase a Sony music system valued $80,000 and a freezer also valued $80,000.
Griffith stated that the document that Gordon presented to the sales representative had the logo of the business place, and purportedly had been signed by the manager of the company.
Gordon also presented the manager’s identification card but according to Griffith the manager was later contacted and investigations revealed that the document was forged. Gordon was subsequently arrested and charged.
Griffith objected to Gordon’s bail application on the grounds that she had recently forged a document to obtain rations from the Police Consumer’s Co-op Society Limited, Robb Street.
The magistrate subsequently ordered that both Gordon and Welcome be remanded to prison and that they return to court on December 29.
