Peel police have charged four officers with perjury after they were accused of stealing a statue of Scarface character Tony Montana from a drug dealer’s storage unit in 2014, and then lying about it twice under oath. “It is a unique situation, 100 per cent,” Sgt. Joshua Colley, Peel police spokesperson, told the Star of the 13-month criminal investigation. “Our officers are held to a high standard in order to maintain the trust that we have worked so hard to build with our community.”In June 2014, Peel police witnessed a drug deal involving Lowell Somerville, of Brampton. During an investigation into his activity, officers took out a search warrant for a storage locker he owned in downtown Toronto; they told the court, nothing had been taken from the unit once in a preliminary hearing, and again during a cross-examination.
