THREE employees of the Licensing Office in Caroni are charged with transferring a vehicle without the owner’s permission.
Errol Supersad, 49, a motor vehicle Inspector I, of Cunupia, Sudesh Radhakissoon, 27, a Temporary Clerk I were charged with misbehaviour in public office.
While Adrian Mohammed, 51, an information computer technician, of La Romain, was charged with two counts of uttering forged documents arising out of the investigation.
They were charged after a collaborative exercise between the Fraud Squad of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service and the Transport Commissioner Clive Clarke.
Police said the victim reported that in June 2022, he went to the Licensing Office at Wrightson Road, Port of Spain, to verify some information in relation to his vehicle.
He was informed that the vehicle was allegedly transferred to another person. The victim denied selling or transferring the vehicle or authorising anyone to do so on his behalf.
The trio was charged by PC Woodroffe of the Fraud Squad on Wednesday 2023, following advice received from Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Dougdeen-Jaglal.
Supersad and Radhakissoon were each granted bail in the sum of $100,000 with surety by a Justice of the Peace, while Mohammed was granted bail in the sum of $120,000 to cover the two charges.
The men are to appear in the Port of Spain Magistrates’ Court on October 24th, 2023.
