Police arrest Woodfordhill woman for theft

Shirmiah Harper

The Portsmouth police have arrested a 23-year-old woman from Woodfordhill for allegedly stealing $372,029.33 from Archipelago Trading in the second town.

She has been identifed as Shirmiah Harper of Palm Tree, Woodfordhill, residing in Glanvillia.

The theft reportedly took place between June 30, 2011 and April 22, 2012.

She was employed at the business place as a cashier.

Harper is expected to appear in a St. Joseph court today (Thursday).

The police are appealing to members of the public to live within their means and respect other people’s property.

    Hmmmm i did not kno that the young lady cases try already an no one turn out for the case not even the investigating officer or the company representatives.this show guilt by the company that no monies went missing at all;frm a very good source an a police officer in portsmouth itself said that their was no evidence to prove that the young lady sold any monies.bcus as far as i know an i have heard frm certain employees that they have back track the pin whole cameras an nothing has been seen of ms harper taking any monies;the manager an his wife an the other company representative shud be suedfor wasting he judge time an government time.as an exprience indiviual with a masters in financial accounting that not even in a bank could someone steal that amount of monies.i am also questioning why is the investigating officier place in the traffic department.was it bcus of the criminal statement made against or what dno we need to keep updated on this case.additional i would like to advice the accountants of this company to over look ur books.properly because this is not amn insititution which makes monies like the bank.i am also questioning how was the monies taken weather it was by cash or cheque.an also why wasnt the supervisor pick up to with the young lady will investigations were being done.was it because the manager is her husband.this sťituation was not handle properly by the police officer due to alot of treats an intimation went on an it was a bit two onsided.one word to the young woman its not the end of the world an so much happiness is ahead of you your lawyer mr beyanzin knows exactly what i am speaking about.your husband or your boyfriend is still with you so just keep strong an use this as a stepping stone.u are young beatutiful an education as far as my investigation have prove.to the dominicans i will leave you to ponder on this story an to go an resarch.company come on think first before branding some one

    If you were a big Fish, or your surname was Skerrit that case would have easily been justified by one single explannation:
    Am,am,though the constitution says stealing is a criminal offense but it does not mention the names of the places that you shall not steal from.

    So many people chastising the young lady for falling to temptation. The very same people support the kybwoshing of the Steven Isidore case where Steven Isidore was supposed to be charged for allegedly stealing 7 millions dollars.why cry down the young lady and praise Isidore. I wonder why?

    Innocent until proven guilty, yes. Alot of the young folks are taking the wrong direction. It baffles me. Where does that kind of influence come from? Another young person, An unconvicted felon? If he can escape, I can escape too attitude. That’s not good. You need to follow the right example. Rebuke satan in all his works and pomp.

    As women we need to be satisfied with the little that we have, if not it will be easy to be used and abused to acquire wealth, it will be easy to steal to acquire more than we truely need. Stop all these excuses about family problems, we all have problems in our lives. This well known guy who worked at the Quarry is now facing charges, this well known tourism officer at DDA who is always well dressed and driving flash car is still awaiting her day in Court in Miami. Never envy another for you never know what they did to get the things they have. Why can’t you people live within your means. Clothes and shoes are not all there is to life. Is that the type of values that you are planning on instilling in your offspring. You people just looking for the calypsonians to write song on all you man. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS people, this is not hard at all.

    She has instructed the best lawyer in Dominica! Anyone listened to his comments in the past 24 hours after securing bail for his client at the High Court, it was a determined man. This legal system will not be the same. I saw mister with about 7 cases shuffling and prevailing on all, then walks up to the High Court and frees his client. Behanzin will make joke of the police case!!!He has already filed documents at the High Court, to the DPP and I would like to find out what criminal investigation was launched against the Investigating Officer??? can DNO try to find out and report it, this could be juicy!!!

    this is a sudden trend with our young women in Dominica. Young women are getting more materialistic and vain and will not try to live within their means.

    Also, the finacing and maintenance of young men by these women is a practise.
    There is a high umemployment rate and when our young people get employed they want to get rich now and hence their fall.

    People must budget whats theirs and live within their means.

    In the abundance of water the fool is thirsty rat race! Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. All we have to do is pray to God, hoping that this does not happen to any of our family members. We are in no position to judge this young lady right now the world just needs prayers and we need to safeguard ourselves and our families

    This a sad situation where everyone has passed judgement on this young lady, who maybe does’nt even know where archipelago trading is, what type of business they operate, never met the young lady are more crooked than her and yet has so much to say about her. Not because you were not caught in the act or arrested for your crimes should you try to tarnish another’s reputation. Someone is innocent of their crimes until proven guilty in a court of law, beyond a reasonable doubt. Within eleven months a considerable amount of money has been missing as to how it was taken, when, is it an accounting error, yes we are humans we all make mistakes except if she has already implicated herself by saying I took $372,029.33 in eleven months. It is feasible yet hard to believe that this one individual could pull such a heist all by herself in eleven months.Did she just write out a check in her name for that substancial amount of money? Please have a conscience, think before you write don’t just write out or say everything that comes to your mind before thinking of the dire consequences it will have on someone else. The world is watching, the world is listening it’s not just Dominicans seeing all of that. when your turn comes and you are faced with the same dilemma whether the accusations are true or false do you want judgement to be passed on you without the truth being revealed? “For to be free is not to merely cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others”. Be blessed everyone.

    I do not think this 23-year old took all this money ALONE. For the sum of money involved and for this to go on for so long – SOMEONE WITH ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE is involved AND somewhere between she and the bank maybe had another thief OR TWO.

    Hope everyone employed during this period right up to the discovery is accounted for and has not left the country.

    I am curious how did they find out? When did they find out? and Who found out?

  32. ISAAC HARPER
    August 31, 2012

    Sherm Harper is my family. While I am saddened by the accusation, I am proud to call her my cousin. Understand this is not an easy time for her family.

    Let us not kick people when they are down, for while Sherm is accused today, tomorrow it might be your family who is accused, and I suspect every decent and reasonable person would appreciate the rule of law.

    Let us not be the accuser, judge, jury and executioner in the span of 24 hours. Let us respect the rule of law, let her have her day in court; let the facts come out; and let justice take its course. All we know at this juncture is that she is merely accused, mere allegations which must be litigated and proven in a court of law, and not in the public domain or on Dominica News Online (DNO) where all of a sudden everyone become obscured arm chair legal experts. Given that I am not privy to the particulars of the case, I am not going to or even attempt to debate the merits of the case, because it amounts to speculation at best and condemnation in the public square at worst.

    I am not going to get in the gutter by dignifying bottom dwelling scum sucking garbage comments on DNO about the Harper family name, except to say that we are a hard working and decent family.

    Our grandfather was know as Captain Marc, because he was that great fisherman who gave away fish for free to those who could not afford to pay for it. Amongst other things he thought me the values of hard work, perserverance and self-reliance, this is why he built his house with his own hands. My grandfather was a self-made man, we were tought to work for what we want.

    Our grandmother thought me to love the Lord and obey his commandments, do unto others as we would like done unto us. In fact, at dinner time, she would always leave some food in the pot at night. She tought me to be to love everyone and fear God.

    To than end, I submit to you that hard work, perseverance, self-reliance, charity, fear of God are the values, ideals and principles that were instilled by my grandparents, but in every family someone may deviate from those family values from time to time.

    I believe that if one has the audacity to publish defamatory baseless comments, castigate or cast aspersions on a family name, then that individual should have the courage and spine to identify themselves and stand by those statements instead of being a coward hidding behind a computer screen.

    I will not take a back seat to anyone who attempts to tarnish the family name. Period.

      Our grandmother would leave extra food in the pot at nights, because she always tought that if a stranded person stopped by, they would have have something to eat. That’s the Harper family.

      it seems to me that the young woman is the one who started it all. Of course, she should have her day in court but you cannot accuse the public of tarning your family name. Your family member is the one responsible for this.

      I know it hard to hear people say things about your family especially by the fact that they don’t know them and the comments can be very hurtful. People need to think about these things before they start talking. But really no one but the accused is responsible for this. Hopefully, she will be cleared of the charges and things will go back to normal for your family.

      There is no need to rejoice or be ugly in this matter. One is innocent until proven guilty. We should never be too quick to judge because you never know when it is your turn. We should pray. The truth is yet to be told.

    Lets pray for all young women in Dominica. There is a saying “when your neighbours house is on fire wet yours”. I know ma besta didnt raise her kids in that way she worked hard to send them to school even after we from Woodford hill and Wesley know the story with the husband. My prayers are with you Mary,Shad and the other sister and bro cant remember their names. My mom always use to tell me when you see people with things dont jealous them cause you dont know what they do or doing to have it and dont hang our hearts where our hands cannot reach. Young women of Dominica Woodford Hill my little village who seems to be in the news way too often these days leave people’s things alone. you go to work work fair and earn your months pay and be thank ful so many persons wish they had a job and you all are not making it any easier for other innocent young man or woman from the village who needs a job now. the things you do will not just affect you but the entire community.Lets all pray for our village.

      its such a coincident that the same manager she has he manage another business in Portsmouth and a few months aback a huge some off money was also stolen under his watch. i thinks he himself should be investigated and should be reevaluated cause i think he is incompetent

    If she was only a cashier then how was she able to steal soo much money within such a period without being caught any sooner? Sounds like a lack of financial control mechanisms, if you ask me. Except if there were other accomplices. Just thinking out loud as an investigator, without one bit of first hand data. Financial Institutions need to tighten thier control process to safeguard thier revenues and in the case of Gov’t, the publics purse.

    $372,000. That’s alot of dough to go missing and undetected for so long.

    Has she built a new home/had lavish holidays/wore designer clothes/partied till she dropped/blinged like Mr T.

    I truly do not believe she acted alone and remained undetected for 10 months. What were the accountants/auditors doing that allowed them to miss such a discrepancy. She was a cashier, someone would have checked her till at the end of her shift.

    I hope the police investigate this throughly, and she is not left to carry the can alone. She must pay for the greed, but so should her accomplices.

      Do you know that there are many ways to steal? You would be amazed at how people can steal from you and you don’t have the slightest clue. think outside the box for a moment and all those internet influences on our young people these days. I am very saddened by what has taken place to this young lady with her whole future ahead of her but we must be mindful that if you do the crime you pay the time. I would not wish this for anybody being in any situation. Preferably ask some one for help but not steal. Hope that this young lady ask herself a question and think of what she have done. My prayers be with you and your family dere. I have seen you many times and you seem like a nice person. i don’t know what could have driven you to this. what circumstance, whatever. Peace and love

Young lady am sadden to hear about your choice and it will or might cause you your freedom but God forgive even the worst of the lot, confess your sin if you really did it and ask for forgiveness with God all things are possible, you might have to pay restitution but that is the price we pay when you do wrong, there are always consequence for our action.

        @bonny1. Here are a few corrections to your post:

        “Hey” please…people around the globe “are” reading this.
        “I” know we can do better…
        Full stop after “spelling.
        “Bring” starts a new sentence
        “Let’s” try to brush up…
        “i boast Dominica too much about our education system”???…the syntax here is all wrong. It should be ” I boast too much about Dominica’s education system”
        “I am saddened”
        “God forgives”
        “there are always consequences”
        Again “I am” sorry

        Sir/Madam. Your own grammar leaves much to be desired.There are way too many run-on sentences and subject-verb disagreements in your short paragraph. Ironically, I must redirect your own adage back at you ” If you live in a glass house, do not throw stones”

      On another note, this is terrible news to hear. I sympathize with the family and pray that it is not her who committed the act. If it is, I pray for swift justice and for her to move on with her life…she is too young to waste away like that. The thing is, everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect.

    Employers and Managers need to have a keen eye to observe when employers are leaving above their means especially when its material. There seems to be quite a bit of this going around. Employers needs to tighten their accounting systems. Hire experts to review your books and your systems independently. Many times these things can be avoided if the Employers spent a lil more to tighten up or even spend some time hanging around the business place. Even try to understand how certain processes work, see if it makes any sense. I smell more to come!!!

If you have a situation for example a medical emergency, I would be more inclined to understand, although that is no reason to steal. But, for nothing? Lavish lifestyle my a**!!!

    Heavenly Father, You have given me so much, and You promise to continue supplying all my needs. Help me to never be covetous of what anyone else has. You have promised to never forsake me in my need, and I trust You on that. Help me to learn to trust You so completely that even in times when I become concerned about finances or provision, I will turn to You and be content with all that You provide.

    HEBREWS 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For HE Himself has said ” I will never leave you nor forsake you”

    So many times, I have had nothing to eat.. wake up and prepare to go to work.. my children on summer vacation and I have nothing to give them. First thing I do is pray… And though it be small, Jesus always gives us enough to make us thru day to day.
    There were times i was tempted..but Honestly I thank my God that I did not yield to temptation.

      DNO is right. Her fater is from Wesley. Im from Woodfordhill. Her father is a close relative of mines. She was born in Woodfordhill, where her parents lived for a while and may still be living there. She went to school at Woodfordhiil both she and her older sister are former school mates of my kidds .They are around the same age. where someone is born, that where they are from. she is from Woodfordhill. But i sure feel sad for this girl. What she did is wrong, if she did. But should not be condemned. Young peple do young and silly things. The “Good books says. All is vanity under the sun, “Childhood and youth is vanity. Let us all pray for the youths.We all have falered and come short. She may be a nice person, but just had some wrong judgements.

    300 grand is not joke money. For a company that deals with money its accounting system has to be seriously flawed for that to be happening and it not being recognized.

      true say! upper mgt is framing her. She may/maynot have taken, but others are involved. when a company fails to invest in upgraded systems and modern methods, thats what happens. And young minds always identify the flaws in the system and they can be tempted to take advantage..

    What kind of business is that that taking in so much money that a cashier can steal that enormous amount of money for such a long period. If this is proven she should repay the money in hard labour plus jail. A lot of others stole money and took off to America before facing justice so it happens more often than we think.

Is there no accounting procedures in place at this institution,What has happened to the Bank Reconciliation-Is that never done? The FSU and FIU should investigate this Financial Institution for Conformity with the Legislative Requirements.There seems to have been a total lapse on the management team of that institution and they all should be held accountable for allowing a Cashier i say A Cashier; the most junior of staff to work out stealing $372,029.33.

        Thanks and i am even taking this a step further. The monthly figure works out to about 1409.20 if we work out an average of 22 working days not including saturdays. I am also thinking that their financial year just ended and this is the reason why they caught the “ERROR”. Where was the supervisor in all this and where was the supervisor’s supervisor. For a cashier to be able to swipe 1500 a day from her till is something quite serious. More so to be able to do that for just about a year is even worst.

        Additionally what really bothers me is the fact that these people do nothing good with the monies that they steal and i guess the reason is they did not work hard for it so easy come easy go.

        I really hope that we dont blame this on the economy because those of us who dont steal live in the same economy and we work hard and take our time to acquire what we want.

      The manager should be terminated. His training/qualification and competence is questionable.
      no bank reconciliation, accounts receivable/clerk/accountant, inventory report, POS(point of sales reports). I would send him to jail instead of the cashier.
