Three police officers charged with multiple counts of misbehaviour in public office each received bail with surety set at $250,000, to cover all charges, when they appeared before Justice of the Peace Steven Young last Friday (December 5).
They later appeared in the Tunapuna Criminal Court before Master Briana Hosein, who continued bail and ordered them not to leave the country and continue residing at their current addresses. The matter was adjourned to January 28th, 2026.
WPC Patrice Rostant-Roberts, PC Jerome McIntosh and PC Karlon Murray, all assigned to the E999 Unit, were charged following advice from Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard.
The officers were charged with larceny; assault occasioning actual bodily harm and robbery with violence.
The charges followed a report made on November 1 in which a victim reported to the TTPS Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) that three police officers had robbed and assaulted him the day before.
According to the report, around 3 pm on October 31st, 2025, three officers allegedly entered the man’s Spring Village, Valsayn home. The man reported that the officers, who wore black clothing and black masks, ordered him and his friends to lie on the floor.
The officers then proceeded to steal two cellphones, valued at $7,499 and $6,800 and $40,000 in cash from the bedroom.
Investigations are continuing.
On December 1, enquiries led officers to the Belmont Police Station, where they recovered an Apple iPhone belonging to one of the victims. Three officers were later arrested.
The investigation was initiated and led by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Intelligence and Investigations, Natasha George, supervised by Assistant Commissioner Richard Smith, Senior Supt Kirk, Supt Jankee, W/ASP Bacchus, W/Insp Guy, PC Horsford, PC Guerra, and other PSB officers. Cpl Duprey also assisted.
Investigations are continuing.
