A curfew was imposed yesterday on Police Superintendent Harry 'Bungles' Daley when he was granted bail in the sum of $1 million with one or two sureties.

He is charged with six counts of extortion and six counts of breaches of the Corruption Prevention Act.

The Crown had opposed bail but Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown said he was offering Daley bail based on his review of the Bail Act.

Brown ordered that Daley must be at home at Ebony Vale, St Catherine, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. each day; he is to surrender his travel documents and he is to report to the Office of the Commissioner of Police three times per week.

Daley is to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on September 10.

He was held last week Thursday in Kingston during a sting operation in which he was allegedly seen collecting $15,000 from a businessman.

Prosecutors Dirk Harrison and Jeremy Taylor said between May 2007 and July 2008, Daley allegedly collected a total of $65,000 from a businessman as protection money for a plaza at Ewarton, St Catherine.
