The police officer caught while stealing
A police officer has been filmed stealing things from a passenger's
suitcase at the airport. The shocking incident happened at the ANR
Robinson International Airport on the Caribbean island of Tobago.
According to TrinidadExpress.com,
officer Brian Stephens was caught leading a sniffer dog around the
airport luggage area as he opened and removed items from the bag. After
that, he opens another looking for items.
Luck however ran out on him after he was filmed following an
investigation launched after numerous European passengers reported items
including cameras and clothing had gone missing when they arrived at
London Gatwick.
The officer pleaded guilty to three counts of misbehaviour in
public office in October 2008, but he was spared jail and instead issued
with a $150,000 fine (£17,0000). He has been told that he will lose his
job as a result of the case.
Stephens will be forced to pay $50,000 immediately and monthly
installments of $5,000 until the sum is paid off. If he does not pay off
the fine, he will then be sent to prison, the judge told him at the
hearing in the Port of Spain High Court.
