A FORMER female post office employee was granted bail in Magistrate’s Court yesterday after allegedly stealing a collective $95,066.04 from the San Salvador Post Office two years ago.
Eva Sands, 62, represented by attorney Ryszard Humes, faced Magistrate Kendra Kelly on two counts of stealing by reason of employment.
It is alleged that Sands, between January 1 to December 31, 2020, stole $2,552.38 while working as an employee of the San Salvador Post Office Department. The accused is further charged with stealing $92,513.66 from the same agency within the timeframe of January 1 to November 30, 2020.
In court Sands elected to continue her matter before the magistrate and pleaded not guilty to both charges.
While prosecutor Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom had no objections to bail he asked that a sign-in condition be imposed on the accused.
Sands was granted bail at $12,000 with two sureties on condition she signs in at Cockburn Town Police Station every Friday by 6pm.
The accused was further warned not to interfere with any witnesses in this matter.
Sands’ trial will begin on February 6, 2023.
