AUDIO TEST # 10.

THEFT OF THE NINE BOTTLES OF BRANDY

On the 22nd day of January, 2006 the LNP Central station received a
complaint about a theft that had taken place at the Liberian/Sierra Leonean
boarder. One Liberian male by name Emmanuel who resides in Sierra Leone
stated that he usually buys Brandy from Sierra Leone which he sells in
Liberia. He has been in this business for five years. His wife divorced him in
year 2002, leaving behind their two children. The children live with him
abroad and it is from this business, he gets money to feed, clothe, and
educate the children.
He got to the Sierra Leone/Liberian border on 20 th January with nine Boxes
of Brandy. Each box contained twelve (12) bottles of brandy. He gave the
nine boxes of Brandy and a bag containing two thousand, five hundred and
forty five Liberian Dollars to the Driver of a Red Honda Accord sedan with
License plate number TY 234 to transport to Monrovia. Each box of brandy
costs 500 US Dollars. The Driver advised him to walk across the Border and
wait for him under the big Mango tree located about 30 meters on the
Liberian side of the Border. This, he told him was for Security reasons
because there is a new Government in Liberia and things have changed. He
believed the Driver and did exactly as he told him.
He went on to say that he waited under the Mango tree for one hour, but the
Driver did not show up. He went back across the border and was told that
the Driver had since left the Border. An Immigrations Officer told him that
he saw the red Honda Accord heading towards Monrovia on the sandy road
east of the Border. It then became clear to him that the Driver meant to steal
his Brandy and money because no one goes to Monrovia through that road.
Emmanuel then boarded a cab to Monrovia and went straight to the motor
park to wait for the Driver, with the hope that he will show up there. He
looked around and asked all the commercial Drivers in the Park. No one
knew where the Driver lived.
Two days later, while he was walking along Central Street, he saw the same
car driven by the same Driver, but the License plate has been changed. The
new number was TB 555. He recognized the Driver because the traffic was
heavy forcing all vehicles to a stand still. The Driver was still wearing the
same clothes he had worn on that day (A Dark blue Sleeveless T shirt, a
black fez cap and a pair of blue jeans trousers). Luckily, he saw two UN
Police Officers and one LNP Officer on joint patrol in a red and white
Toyota Land cruiser jeep with License plate number 864. He ran to them and
requested them to assist him. The LNP officer contacted the Driver and
asked him to follow them to the Central Police station. Twenty minutes later,
the Driver and the LNP Officer together with Emmanuel in the Red Honda
Accord and the two UN Police Officers in the Toyota jeep arrived Central
Police station.
When he was questioned by the Officer on duty, the Driver admitted taking
the nine boxes of brandy and the bag containing money.

THE FOLLOWING CONVERSATION WAS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN

THE STATION OFFICER AND EMMANUEL.

What is your name? Are you a Liberian? Please tell me where you live sir.

My name is Emmanuel. I am a Liberian citizen, but my two children and I

live in Sierra Leone.

Why is it just your children? Where is their mother?

We divorced in the year 2000.

For how long have you been in this business of buying and selling brandy?

I have been in the business for five good years. It is from this business that I
get money to feed, clothe and educate my children.

On what date did this Driver steal your goods.

It was on the 20th January, 2006 that my goods were stolen.

Please tell me, what exactly was stolen

There were nine boxes containing twelve bottles of brandy each and a bag
containing Two Thousand, five hundred and forty Liberian Dollars.

Why did you leave the Driver with your goods?

The Driver advised me to leave everything with him and walk empty handed
across the border. He told me to wait for him under a mango tree 30 meters
from the border, on the Liberian side. According to him, this was for
security reasons because things have changed with the new Government in
Liberia.

What type of car did he use?

A red Honda accord sedan with registration number TY 234

Did he eventually come with you goods?

No Sir. I waited for him for one hour. He did not show up. I then went back
to where I had left him.

Did you see him?

I did not see him. An Immigration officer told me that he saw the red car
heading towards Monrovia, on the sandy road east of the border.

You must have felt so bad then.

Yes. I felt very bad. I had to board a cab to the motor park in Monrovia,
hopping that I was going to see him there. He could not be seen.

Why the man is here now?

Today, as I was walking along the Central street, Monrovia I saw a red car. I
was not sure it was the car because the License plate was not the same. The
number, this time was 555. But when I looked inside the car I saw that it was
the same Driver I have been looking for.

How could you have recognized him so easily?

The traffic was heavy and all vehicles were not moving at that time. So, I
was able to have a good look at the Driver. I saw then that he was wearing
the same clothes he wore on the day of the incident. (A dark blue sleeveless
T shirt, a fez cap and a pair of blue jeans trousers)

What did you do then?

I saw a Police patrol vehicle with a combine team of UN Police and Liberian
Police Officer. They were also stuck in the heavy traffic. That made it easy
for me to run to them for help. And they were so helpful to assist in bringing
us here.

Than you for all that you have told me. The Duty Officer is questioning the
Suspect and he so far admitted taking all the things you mentioned. The
questioning is still on. I shall get back to you later.

Thank you Sir. Please do your best to recover my goods and my money.
