The Canadian military has been warned about a “culture” of stealing within its special forces after equipment, including gun parts and ammunition, was taken from its high security counterterrorism base in Ottawa.
But the agreed statement of facts on record with the Ontario court pointed to allegations of a larger problem of theft at the special forces command. “Mr. Collier was handed these items and told to just take them,” the statement noted. “He took them knowing that they did not belong to him.” “Any statement alleging an environment whereupon even minor transgressions would be dismissed is inaccurate,” added CANSOFCOM spokeswoman Maj. Amber Bineau. “CANSOFCOM takes allegations of or suspicions of theft very seriously and holds its leadership and members to the highest standards.”Military police charged Collier on Oct. 29, 2018.
In addition, during the same period there were two investigations undertaken by units themselves within the special forces command. In one case there was an allegation a CANSOFCOM member took an item from another special forces soldier but no charge was laid. In another case, it was determined a CANSOFCOM member’s actions did not constitute an offence but administrative action was nonetheless taken against the individual.
He was a storesman. The guy left alone to look after military stores isn't the same as a special forces soldier.
Nothing new, happens in any military around the world. People like that are Blades. You can’t trust them, don’t want them in your section, regardless of trade.
