Police Officer, Chris Defoe, has again found himself in trouble with the law, as another charge of theft has been preferred against him.<\/p>\n
Defoe appeared before the Magistrate court last week, and according to the charge, he is accused of stealing a motor vehicle belonging to Lyra Humphrey of Portsmouth valued at EC$23,000.00.<\/p>\n
Since the matter is indictable, the accused was not required to enter a plea as the case is expected to be heard at the High Court of Justice before and Judge and jury.<\/p>\n
In July 2019, the young officer with under ten years\u2019 service in the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, appeared before a Roseau Magistrate charged with theft of a bulletproof vest at Police Headquarters valued at EC$500.00.<\/p>\n
Then, he was also not required to enter a plea in the matter since it had passed the six months limit and so laid indictable.<\/p>\n
Since he was on bail for the first matter, additional bail was granted to him in the sum of $25,000.00.<\/p>\n
The matter was adjourned to February 11, 2021. Defoe is represented by Attorney-at-Law Dawn Yearwood Stewart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police Officer, Chris Defoe, has again found himself in trouble with the law, as another charge of theft has been preferred against him.
