Employee Lies to Employer and to Police About Stealing a Machine – All Charges Withdrawn

Charge(s):

CC: s.140(1)(b) – Public Mischief, s.336 – Breach of Trust.

Allegations:

My client lied to his employer about having returned all of the approx. 40 pieces of heavy equipment, which were stored on his property.  Seven years later, his bitter ex-wife informed the police that my client had kept and was using one piece of machinery.

Result:

I successfully negotiated the withdrawal of his charges, on the basis that there was no reasonable likelihood of a conviction.
