Dwight Timothy, a former staff of the National Cooperative Credit Union (NCCU), has been arrested and charged for theft of over $33,000 at that institution.
Timothy appeared before Chief Magistrate, Candia Carette-George, on Friday where the charge was read to him.
He was not required to plea.
He was placed on bail in the amount of $30,000 and is represented by lawyer Kondwani Williams.
As part of his bail conditions Timothy is to surrender all his travel documents, drivers licence, Social Security Card and is to report to the Roseau Police Station Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. He is also to refrain from interfering with the prosecution’s witnesses.
The matter has been adjourned to April 15th, 2016.
This whole story doesn’t add up; the population needs the truth… I hope they save up to pay this young man for damaging his very reputable ambassador like reputation!!!
What whole story? Were you involved?
I want to know why this young man’s face is all over the media like that, when perpertrators of other crimes like rape, whom we should see their faces are not show in public. DNO AND MARPIN, I am so not pleased that you decide to show his face and not the face of those rapists and other. Why should we have to know this person and not know the rapists and thieves so that we can be cautious?
Please think over that policy. If you think its ok to show his face, then please do the same for the thieves and rapists
it is obvious you are not familiar with the laws of the land. the only faces that are not shown is when persons are charged with sexual offences. their names and faces are only shown if and when they are convicted for the crime. in a case like theft there are no provisions in the law to prevent the names or photos of the person charged from being shown in the media.
Dominicans appear to be police, jury and judge based on their comments in relation to an article which simply states that an individual was “charged” for a crime. Being charged simply means that one is being accused of wrongdoing…it in no way implies that the accusation has been proven to be correct or even justified. Let us say for example that your neighbor accused you of stealing his generator from the back of his house and during trial the facts revealed that it was actually the neighbor who hid his own generator in your yard to set you up…however, long before the trial your arrest and charge was publicized in the News. During that time every Dominican had already called you all manner of thieves, decided how severe your punishment should be and stated what they would do to you if it was their generator you stole. Now, after the trial, when it is discovered that it was your wicked neighbor who tried to set you up…the damage to your reputation has already been done.
It is rather interesting that someone is charged and arrested before they begin searching for concrete evidence! How can one guy take so much money in such short time from the same account or how can one man make a withdrawal without the signature of a customer or supervisor even to add why was it that the boy home was raided with nothing found….. questions to be answered …………………… I smell a big rat
“How can one guy take so much money in a short space of time from the same account”?
I dunno…maybe by….Taking alot of money in a short space of time from the same account probably?
Ummm who told you that’s how the theft happened? Who told you it was over a short period of time? Save yourself some embarrassment of formulating and expressing your own opinion based on information you do it have by being quiet
Interesting. .
how can a person be charged without evidence? Wat do u consider to be a short period of time.. this was done over a period of time and not from one persons account All signatures were forged. Obviously the news cannot get into the nitty gritty of stuff. U don’t kno so don’t talk. The rat that u smell is the one who was charged.
I’m so disappointed in you! You’ve shock me and many others. Why Dwight? Why? You have no kids, your mom’s only child. What reasons you had to do that? Medical reasons? That’s the only thing I can think of.. you bringing shame to your mom’s eyes.. I’m disappointed. No one is perfect but u really shock me
oh shut up u never steal in your life…Hypocrite
I am saddened by this report. This young man attended to me when I was on the Island. This is sad indeed.
Ask the Lord for fogiveness. Don’t allow this mistake to lead you to further self destruction . Apologize to those you have wronged and learn from this , temptations may occur at anytime to anyone in any form don’t let the opinions of others keep you down dust yourself up and forward young man.
We can’t only blame these people. We have to blame those in charge as well because sometimes, employees do these things and they allow it to slide. Don’t you know a thief is always a thief?! If you let it slide they will find a better way to do it. They will blame their actions on all sorts of things but themselves. They will say the devil made them do it but it is their life style. These people will decay an institution to the ground yet the bigger heads do nothing about it. Who they want to let go they let go, and who smile and have a secret deal with a bigger head will get away.
hummmmm very foolish
I think Nccu needs to investigate all the Branches Money always going missing on my account and I don’t think Dwight was the only person touching peoples money!!!
you have no evidence of the boy touching money the boy just got over 14 000 scholarship for toping the caribbean in his exams from UWI canada fund to complete his bachelors in guess what again BANKING and FINANCE no man
Whats wrong with these people making people hard earned money burn their eyes and trying to leave above their means. But they always get job anyway while honest educated people cannot get work. The recent one at insurance company, the girl by Lindo Mart fromTrafalgar; The one at Astaphans; Mr. Bunch ……..The list goes on. The law is too lenient with these things..Then again the cases gets dropped…smh! Screwed up system.
A senior citizen died in Europe not too long ago. when the cleaners emptied the house they found 60 million euros in a mattress. the senior citizen was 90. so maybe a mattress is a safer place and more interest
ridiculous as it may sound its true maybe its better to keep money at home instead of the bank… as the bible says whats good is heaping up riches and not using it … someone else will use it for you……
This young man could have been any ones family,i do not condone theft but i think that it is not wise to put someones photo on a news paper for all the world to see even though he or she is charged for what ever crime,because even someone is charged for a crime at the later end after the case he could be found innocent and by showing his photo ,human beings are always happy to see their kind being walked over ,this young man will always be looked upon as a thief…why not wait till someone is found guilty to show their picture?What goes around comes around,if he is found guilty make him give back every cent that he took and send him to prison so that due to his actions this punishment may deter others from stealing…now his family especially his parents must feel a shame of the mess he is in now…
Nothing to rejoice about. Shameful. Thou shall not steal.
thou shall not do lie,thou shall not commit adultery,thou shall not covet your neibours house and many more and am sure youre doing them..
In a small place as Dominica, I feel sorry for you. Your reputation and future are at stake. Who will be encouraged to employ you?
All the same, it has to be proven in Court that he really stole the money.
What about our credit cards!!???
Anyway, he has not been forund guilty.
Fellas want to ball before they crawl!
I hope we will continue to enjoy the benefit of seeing future pictures of persons who have not been found guilty and waiting for their day in court!!
all I am saying let us level the playing field. . . . .
ADMIN: As long as the photos are available we will publish.
I don’t believe that the guy mention above would take the said money from the same institutions to which the grand mother has more than the amount and set bail. That story does not make sense.
I do not condone what they claimed he did but innocent till proven guilty, then you can print or publicise his picture. Why didn’t you guys publicised the staff of Scotia bank who were claimed to be involved in one of the biggest bobol in Dominica”s history .and what about the other banks like first Caribbean and national bank. Well they were not publicised because they were prominent persons. This young man is a poor person’s son so he is treated as such. I will be watching because more bobols will be committed by other persons very soon and when it does let us see if they are treated the same way. Hold tight Dwight. I am praying for you and Ann and your granny.
be careful of the comments we make when other people get themselves into calamity like this. it’s just a time for us to take example.
DNO Police officers accused of murder at the Portsmouth police station, never seen not one pic of those so called policemen, and that poor guy you put his pic for everybody to see, THAT IS NOT RIGHT…
ADMIN: The photos of the policemen were never made available to the press. None of them had public Facebook accounts. How do you expect us to get photos?
DNO not nice when is a poor person they have the person photo up when is these other people they hiding them
Can you give an example of “these other people” DNO hiding? I’ve been reading this site for years and as long as a person is charged in court and DNO has access to a photo, they have been publishing it.
The police officers in the portsmouth incident?
stupes nonsense you talking!!!!!!! no matter who you are they will put up your photo..you find you making sense?
The criminal 5 policemen that kill the in portsmouth and many others,
You understand
what do you mean by your post? (explain) poor people is smarter than that!
When is your “poor” friends you well vex but for others you happy. That’s what you wanted to say
sorry the typing errors, was on my phone while on a bus
who cares
That NOT Christ like nuh pal.
No no i just cant believe it.not u my brother
I will simply say this: though it is not pertaining to this guy in particular; nevertheless, never put anything past anybody no mater who they are and that includes:
Priest
Parson
Reverend
Bishop
Doctor,
Teacher
Lawyer
Engineers of all kinds
Police
magistrates
Judges
Civil servants of all kinds
Do not even trust an undertaker, because it has happened where they bury people in the day time, and at night they return and dig up the grave, dump the dead in the hole cover it and steal the coffin!
A man like that when he see people like the politicians; Skerrit with all that wealth, that he desires, he may have said if one man can thief all of us can do the same; we live by example, so do not blame him too much; I do not condone the crime however!
It is usually the other way around. Those who judge others and scandalize their names, they are the ones who are worst. Does God not know that?
I would not trust you one bit. Take this and smoke it in your pipe.
papa bat! stop letting my money and others money burn ur eyes. learn to live within ur salary means, once u all working in bank u all think u hv arrived,
there are people who steal in bigger quantities Dominica’s treasury and allu still supporting it. allu even believe he jesus like.
The boy had many jobs i once worked as a chef with Dwight at Anchorage Hotel.. the boy even does catering with his mom… awa thats a set up
We all need to pray for him,certainly, it is not as a result of unemployement. At least he has untill April 2016 enough time to pay back the money allegedly he might find it before he is called to Answer.
well who doesn’t hear must feel you would be real dumb to go do something like that haha fast money u want well fast so u will go jail
Dominican need to learn to follow s story properly. Its alleged that he stole the money, they are looking for someone to pin their carelessness on. The police need to investigate more before trying to sweat a brother.
Lord have mercy.
The employees at those financial institutions must learn to resist the temptation.
It happening in every institution in Dominica. Some doing it blatantly and not getting arrested.
Bro….sad to hear that’s the situation with you…still can’t believe it
Think this is out right wrong this young man is.not found guilty and his mane and puncture is out there on yournews site this cant be right
Sws
what are u talking abt?? He was charged! He doesn’t have to be found guilty for his “mane and puncture” to be on the news. I’m actually hoping u mean “name and picture”. U make no sense.
You do realize that he has been charged, right? DNO has done nothing wrong by posting the pic.
We must NEVER envy what other people have,for we do not know how they get it Amen.
Sad and stupid….after you secure a job in these economic times with a reputable institution like the NCCU, you making peopl’s hard-earn money burn your eyes….these types of episodes are happening too often in Dominica…it was time for someone to be made an example of….I am not feeling sorry for him…stealing money people have trust you to safeguard, that people have worked hard for and sacrifice to put aside for rainy days is just plain wicked and advantagous.
Young people you must learn to creep before you can walk, when you have a job learn to be satisfied with what your salary is. Rome was not build in a day, he was a rather pleasant young man at the N C C U when it come to customers service. Feel for him but we must all take responsibility for our wrong deeds. Have you realized that you have destroyed your reputation, shamed your family and chances of getting another job is slim? Mothers pray for your children.
Wow, I don’t really kno him but he looked like a decent guy,,
o lord I need to make my own bank and remove my money where it is.
LOL
SMH
Sad man. You are a young man with a job in this hard country. Why couldn’t you learn to creep brother!!! Anyway you are young, TURN OVER A NEW LEAF, so pick yourself up and do better!
Oh, my favourite teller, so polite and professional. What tempted you dear? I will miss you and I will pray for you as well.
