City courts have started adjourning matters to allow the police time to reconstruct documents for court proceedings to continue in wake of the Brick-dam Police Station fire.

During hearings yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court, the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan informed several persons that their matters were being adjourned to later dates while the police reconstructed the files. She explained that the delay was due to the documents being destroy-ed in the fire at the Brick-dam Police Station on Saturday last. The courts have also offered a temporary laptop and mobile internet device for the Police Station. The devices were handed over yesterday.
