Simple larceny charge against Carvil Duncan dismissed

Former Director of the Guyana Power and Light (GPL), Carvil Duncan, was yesterday found not guilty of stealing almost a million dollars from the company, after insufficient evidence by the prosecution.

Magistrate Leron Daly ruled that a prima facie case had not been established against Duncan, who had been charged with simple larceny, and that the court would not call on him to lead a defence.  It was alleged that on March 31, 2015, at Georgetown, he conspired to steal $984,900, which was the property of GPL.
