Penal man charged for larceny

Jeremy Seecharan of Mohess Road was also charged with possession of house breaking implements at Ghandi Village substation when he stood before Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John.

According to a TTEC press release, the arrest and prosecution of the accused was a result of an ongoing partnership between TTEC Estate Police Rapid Response and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service, “to combat electricity theft and tampering with the Commission’s installations.” The statement continued: “TTEC reminds members of the public that, pursuant to the Electricity Act Chapter 44:70, it is a criminal offence to tamper with the Commission’s electricity installations and/ or make electricity connections.

The Commission will continue to investigate any such installations and/or connections and bring legal action against those found guilty of these offences. The public is therefore warned against carrying out such illegal acts, which pose a serious threat to safety.” Seecharan will reappear in court on May 22.
