A 30-year-old foreign national appeared in Magistrates’ Court today facing two dishonesty-related charges stealing from her employment at the Dockyard Café.
Geraldine Taquiqui, of Deepdale Road, Pembroke, was charged with allegedly making a false entry in a document or account of the Dockyard Café with intent to defraud.
The first offence is alleged to have occurred between January 1, 2024, and April 27, 2026, in Bermuda, while Taquiqui was employed by the Dockyard Café. The charge alleges that she avoided transactions being entered into the establishment’s point-of-sale system.
Taquiqui pleaded not guilty to the first charge.
She was also charged with theft, alleged to have occurred between January 1, 2024, and April 27, 2026. The charge alleges that she stole money valued at $28,732.75, described as a general deficiency belonging to Michael Barbosa.
Taquiqui also pleaded not guilty to the theft charge.
Magistrate Maria Sofianos granted bail in the sum of $10,000 surety.
As part of her bail conditions, Taquiqui must report to Hamilton Police Station every Tuesday and Thursday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
She was also ordered to surrender her travel documents, while a lookout is to be submitted at all points of entry in Bermuda.
Taquiqui will return to Magistrates Court on October 5, 2026 at 2:30pm
All allegations remain unproven unless and until determined by a court.
