4 Peel officers charged with theft, perjury after Scarface statue stolen from suspected drug dealer

Four Peel Region police officers were charged with theft and perjury Thursday, after an Ontario Superior Court judge concluded last year that the men stole a statue of Scarface character Tony Montana while executing a search warrant in 2014, and then lied while under oath.

Following the decision, the officers were suspended with pay and an internal investigation was launched by the Peel Regional Police service last May. As a result of the court's findings, several drug-related charges were stayed against the defendant Lowell Somerville.
