An eight-year veteran of the New Westminster Police Department has officially been charged following an internal investigation.
In March, the police department issued a statement reporting that one of their own had been let go after an investigation about thefts at the department.
The department said it would not release the officers’ name because he had not been charged yet.
New West Chief Const. Dave Jones said, in a previous statement, that the department was taking the investigation “very seriously.”
“I can assure the community that a significant amount of effort and resources were committed to this investigation to ensure that the information gathered was accurate and complete,” Jones said.
Yesterday, the police department announced that the officer, Adam Spindor, had been officially charged with two counts of theft of money and other items, which were property of the department’s street crime unit, and one count of breach of trust by a public officer.
New Westminster police would not comment further on this matter as it is now before the courts.
Spindor was in court on April 29, after Record deadlines.
Prior to being hired with the New Westminster Police Department, Spindor attended its two-week student police academy.
