Three po­lice of­fi­cers have been freed of mul­ti­ple charges for al­leged­ly rob­bing two civil­ians, af­ter pro­longed de­lays in pros­e­cut­ing their case.

Ear­li­er this week, Dion Ot­t­ley, Ryan Gran­di­son, and Steve Williams were dis­charged by High Court Mas­ter Mar­garet Sookraj-Goswa­mi, who up­held an ap­pli­ca­tion filed by their le­gal team, led by Se­nior Coun­sel Kei­th Scot­land, over the con­duct of State pros­e­cu­tors.

The of­fi­cers were ini­tial­ly charged in ear­ly 2016, fol­low­ing al­le­ga­tions that they robbed two men of cash and jew­ellery while armed with their ser­vice pis­tols.
