Having been arrested about two weeks ago in connection with acts of alleged robbery, the Government of Liberia has sent four disrobed officers of the Liberia National Police (LNP) to court for prosecution.
Police and court documents showed slight difference in charges leveled against the men who are expected to appear at the Monrovia City Court.
They were disrobed, in keeping with law, to enable them undergo prosecution. The accused are patrolmen T-Max Brown, Abel Tue, Bobbie Brown and Harris Q. Blackie.
Police charge sheet revealed that the charge of "Robbery" while the writ from the Monrovia City Court revealed the charge of "armed robbery."
According to police charge sheet, the accused, on July7, 2008, broke into the homes some residents of the GSA Road who they threatened, manhandled, cuffed and robbed several valuable items.
The writ of arrest which was issued on the four disrobed LNP officers said they were dressed in their uniforms and heavily armed with pistols during the execution of the alleged act of armed robbery.
At a news conference last week, Inspector General of the LNP, Col. Beatrice M. Sieh said the four officers were among nine officers accused of robbery.
