Three of the four policemen who were taken into custody over their alleged involvement in the theft from a casino of some $96,000 were granted bail when they appeared before a Justice of the Peace on Friday evening.
They are expected to appear before a Port of Spain magistrate on Tuesday.
Justice of the Peace Akbhar Khan stated that the men were granted bail in the sum of $150,000 each on condition that they hand over their passports, report to the police station once a week and were not allowed to speak with witnesses.
The charges were laid after the two police corporals and two police constables were questioned by members of the Anti-Corruption Investigations Bureau Friday.
The investigation stemmed from a robbery at Club Avenue 5, Duncan Village, San Fernando, on Friday, August 21.
Police were called to the club after getting a report of a man walking with a shotgun. Three men were eventually arrested and $38,000, a homemade shotgun and ammunition seized.
But it was only after reviewing surveillance tapes by the casino’s management that the images were found of men in police uniform stuffing their pockets with cash from a vault. Some $96,000 was taken.
