Woodlands Hospital duo found guilty of $1M theft from institution

A city magistrate yesterday found a cashier/receptionist and a security guard, who had been employed at the Woodlands Hospital, guilty of stealing a little over $1 million from the institution.

Susan Daniels and Haniff Peters were accused of stealing $1,042,195, which was the property of the hospital, on August 31st, 2017 at the Wood-lands Hospital on Car-michael Street.

The duo learnt their fate in the courtroom of Magistrate Faith McGusty. Sentencing was deferred in order for the court to hear probation reports on the defendants.

The matter is expected to be called again on August 2nd.

Daniels was also charged with giving false information to the police, whom she told that she was robbed on August 31st, 2017, causing them to conduct an investigation. The act was allegedly committed on September 1st, 2017. The outcome of that matter is unknown at this time.

Facts relating to the main matter indicate that on the day in question, Daniels was taking the day’s earnings to a particular location but never got there. The woman later reported that she was robbed.

However, investigations revealed that the statement was not true, resulting in the arrest of both Daniels and Peters.
