A security officer who is employed with one of the leading security firms on the island has been charged with stealing by reason of employment. Rondell Flemming of Mt. Rich, St. Patrick’s is accused of stealing cash amounting to $132,080.00 from the Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) of Republic Bank at Wall Street in Grand Anse, St. George’s.

A well-placed source told THE NEW TODAY Newspaper, the 30-year old security officer “confessed” to police investigators attached to the South St. George Police Station about his role in the illegal activity on February 2. The source who spoke on condition that he remained anonymous said the police officers were able to retrieve from the accused man four black plastic bags containing the money.

“The man openly confessed to the police he stole the money from the Teller Machine,” he told THE NEW TODAY. This newspaper learnt that Flemming allegedly burnt some of the money along with a VCR recorder and seals. The source said the discovery of the missing cash and items was made by a group of security officers attached to the firm with which the bank does business and who were in the process of conducting some transactions at the ATM.

Speculation is rife that when the security officers arrived they noticed the control room was opened, and that the surveillance recorder damaged and its cassette missing. Flemming is currently on bail in the sum of $100,000.00, awaiting the start of the Preliminary Inquiry into the theft charges.
