Ex-Brodies’ Deliveryman Charged for Theft from Store

Frederick Sutherland

Twenty-year-old Frederick Sutherland, a former deliveryman for James Brodie and Company, was dragged to court today on a single charge of theft.  It is alleged that the fisherman of East Collet Canal made off with an assortment of food items from the Northern Highway store.  Those items include cases of Nestum Wheat and Honey, Cerelac, Lactogen and Klim, all to a sum of approximately five thousand dollars.  In a statement given to police, Sutherland’s former manager, Julio Gonzalez, reported that several invoices for the previously mentioned items indicated that when checks were made into the delivery of the goods, nothing had been delivered.  He appeared unrepresented before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer today where he pleaded not guilty to the charge.  Since there was no objection, he was offered and met bail in the sum of five thousand dollars, plus one surety of the same amount.
