TWO police officers from the Henderson Police Station have been ordered to appear in court next Friday to show cause in relation to some missing exhibits.
This was after the lawyer representing a couple, Patterson and Grace Natei, applied to court to impose this order so that the officers can appear in court and explain why those exhibits, being two carton of SB beers and one carton Johnny Arrow, were missing from the police station.
The couple has been charged for selling liquor without licence after being claimed to have sold liquor without a license on 17 November 2015.
Police then confiscated three cartons of solbrew bottles, nine cartons of solbrew cans plus 21 solbrew cans, two crates of solbrew bottles plus 21 solbrew bottles, one carton of whiskey cola plus cans of whisky cola, two cartons of Johnny Arrow plus five cans of Johnny Arrow cans, two cartons of Saratonga plus 16 bottles of Saratoga and 52 cartons of SB beers plus 20 cans of SB beers.
The court however, acquitted both of them on 9 May this year after it found they have occasional license to sell liquor which is valid from June 2015 to December 2015.
After acquitting them the court ordered that the confiscated items be returned to the couple before or by 10 may 2016.
Police did return those items but not all of them as two cartons of SB beers and one carton of Johnny Arrow were missing.
As a result of this, private lawyer Ronald Dive made an application to the court seeking those exhibit officers to appear in court and explain why those items were missing.
