Police Constable, Ryan Greene, who has been accused of downloading CCTV video recordings from the Police Force’s Command Centre and allegedly sharing it with the Opposition Leader, has approached the High Court seeking bail after he was remanded to prison last week.

The application was filed by the Policeman’s father, Randy Greene.

The fixed-date application for bail submitted by Attorney-at-Law, Darren Wade, noted the provisions of the Bail Act 2022 and the Constitution of Guyana, asking the High Court to review the decision of the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court to refuse bail to the 20-year-old Police Officer.

Greene is accused of unlawfully obtaining and disclosing electronic data, contrary to Section 9(1)(b) of the Cybercrime Act 2018.

It is allege that on October 13, 2026, Greene, while attached to the Guyana Police Force’s Command Centre at Liliendaal, unlawfully obtained CCTV footage relating to a shooting incident which occurred on October 12, 2026, at Barr Street, Kitty.

The footage was allegedly stored on a protected computer system at the Force’s Command Centre and was subsequently provided to Opposition Leader Azzruddin Mohamed.

Greene was arrested on October 26, 2026, and has remained in custody since then.

An application for a writ of habeas corpus was filed on Greene’s behalf last week, but he was jointly charged with Mohamed and has been remanded to prison until November 24.

Now, a fresh application has been filed in the High Court for bail to be Granted.

The applicant is arguing that the offence does not meet the statutory definition of a serious offence under the Bail Act.

The application points out that the maximum penalty for the offence is five years imprisonment and contends that it therefore does not fall within the category of serious offences contemplated under the legislation.

The applicant further argues that there are no substantial grounds to believe Greene would interfere with the ongoing investigation if released on bail.

Among the arguments advanced is that the prosecution has already assembled the evidence against the accused, including the electronic data allegedly obtained, which is said to be in the possession of the police.

The application also maintains that no witnesses have been identified who Greene may be likely to approach or influence.

It further noted that Greene has no previous convictions, has never previously been placed on bail and has no history of breaching bail conditions.

The applicant describes Greene as a young Guyanese police officer who is employed and resides with his parents.

The matter is scheduled to be heard next Tuesday.
