An operations supervisor was reprimanded and discharged after admitting that he stole some cement from his workplace five months ago.
Donquil DaCosta Russell, of No. 67 Friendly Hall, St Lucy, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Wayne Clarke in the District “E” Magistrates’ Court in Holetown yesterday to stealing 3.5 cubic metres of cement valued
$2 091.25 belonging to Black Bess Mining on July 11.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Verdon Forde, told the court that Russell supervised the day-to-day operations of the cement section of the Jada Company. As a result he must report any issues to a Mr Edwards.
The company policy is that each truckload of cement leaving the compound must drive over the weight bridge. The trucks are fitted with a device which records where they travel to, as well as tickets which are assigned to each delivery showing the amount of concrete delivered, the truck number and the mixing specifications.
