The Administration of the Liberia National Police has dismissed Corporal Sabastine G. Weedee (LNP-2753) of the Police Support Unit (PSU) with immediate effect for criminal misconduct.
According to a release from the Liberia National Police, the dismissal follows a complaint filed by Estella Metzger, an employee of the United Bank of Africa (UBA).
The release said Ms. Metzger alleged that Officer Weedee visited the UBA’s 5th Street branch in Sinkor under the pretense of conducting business.
The LNP noted that during a brief absence from Madam Metzger’s desk, Officer Weedee allegedly stole US$ 100 from a customer’s deposit that was left on the desk.
The LNP said, that during the preliminary investigation, Corporal Weedee admitted to the crime and was charged with theft of property.
Meanwhile, the LNP has termed Corporal Weedee’s actions as a gross violation of Section 8.1(a) of the Liberia National Police Disciplinary Regulations of 2016 and has been instructed to cease identifying with the Liberia National Police to avoid future embarrassment.
Officer Weedee has also been instructed to turn over all government properties in his possession, including badges, uniforms, ID cards, and boots/shoes among others, to the Human Resource Management Division of the Liberia National Police.
