Fake security officer robs CAL of $90,000

By Rhondor Dowlat From Guardian tt

A man dressed as a se­cu­ri­ty guard from a promi­nent se­cu­ri­ty firm robbed Caribbean Air­lines of a large sum of mon­ey when he “col­lect­ed” a mon­ey bag from the Caribbean Air­lines counter at Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port on Mon­day.

Po­lice said the bag con­tained close to $100,000 and the man went up to the counter af­ter 11 am pre­tend­ing to be the se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cer who had ar­rived to col­lect cash from sales.

CAL of­fi­cials made a re­port to the Pi­ar­co Po­lice Sta­tion at about 1 pm.

CAL head of Cor­po­rate Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Dionne Ligoure con­firmed that “an undis­closed sum of mon­ey was un­law­ful­ly re­moved from the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port by a man pur­port­ing to be a G4S Se­cu­ri­ty Of­fi­cer.”

Guardian Me­dia has been able to con­firm that the sum stolen was clos­er to $90,000.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.

More on this sto­ry as in­for­ma­tion comes to hand.
