A Police Constable has been granted $350,000 bail after appearing in court charged with misbehaviour in public office.
The charge against Stefon Khan followed an investigation into the tampering and theft of police exhibits.
He appeared virtually before Master Rhea Libert at the Chaguanas Masters Court yesterday, with a status hearing now scheduled for July 10th 2026.
He remains in custody at the Eastern Correctional Recreational Facility until the expiration of the current state of emergency
The investigation began after a fatal police involved shooting in the Central Division on February 24th 2026.
The TTPS says a crime scene investigator collected several exhibits, including a firearm, ammunition, and two blocks of cannabis, which were sealed and stored in the Chaguanas Police Station strongroom.
The next day, the investigator found the seal on the evidence bag broken and the original cannabis blocks replaced with tampered packages containing wood and a ceramic tile.
CCTV footage identified the accused as the one responsible.
Following a coordinated investigation involving senior police officers, PC Khan was arrested and placed on a Preventative Detention Order.
The DPP Roger Gaspard SC, subsequently advised that he be charged with Misbehaviour in Public Office for larceny of exhibits valued at $242,000.
