Two cops charged over truck load of diesel

Two police ranks implicated in the disappearance of a truck load of diesel from the Mackenzie Police Station last December were charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.

Police Sergeant of fourteen years, Terrence Noble of 176 Fort Ordnance, West Coast Berbice and a junior rank of two years, Cecil Adams of Ogle Street, East Coast Demerara were each placed on $100,000 bail when they appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Christianburg Magis-trate’s Court yesterday.

It is alleged that the        duo sometime between November and December 2009 at the Mackenzie Police Station conspired to steal from the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA), twenty-five thousand gallons of diesel which was lodged in the station compound at the time.

The two were represented by attorney-at-law Michael Sommersaul who made a bail application on their behalf which was not contested by police prosecutor Oswald Pitt.
The two are to return to court on October 12 for report.
