Gov’t drug bond worker charged with stealing blood sugar test strips

Daquan Griffith

An employee of the Materials Management Unit (MMU) of the Ministry of Public Health was yesterday charged with stealing blood sugar test strips from the Diamond bond, even as the ministry announced that two more workers had resigned in wake of what it called the police’s “smashing” of a suspected drug theft ring at the facility.

A day after the ministry announced that one of the workers who was arrested had confessed to stealing medical supplies, Daquan Griffith, 19, was arraigned before city magistrate Leron Daly on a larceny charge.
