Mulinuu Courthouse, Apia Samoa; translated from FaaSamoa. Two former employees of Bluebird Lumber and Hardware appeared before the Supreme Court facing charges of theft as a servant for allegedly removing a washing machine, an electric saw and a tool box.



The two men are charged with removing hardware goods on three separate occasions.
According to Police both men removed a tool box worth $650 tala on 7 September 2023.
On the 14th of October the pair are accused of removing a Panasonic washing machine worth $1,250 tala.
Then again on October 14th the two men allegedly removed an electric saw valued at $1,999 tala.
The pair had initially pleaded guilty to the charges against them, however, they were unrepresented in Court and told Justice Fepuleai Ameperosa Roma they could not afford a lawyer.
Justice Roma directed the Courts to seek legal counsels for the two men under Samoa’s legal aid programme.
The matter will be recalled next week.
