A miner and a minibus conductor were both granted bail in the sum of $40,000 each after they appeared yesterday before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton accused of stealing clothing valued at over $200,000.
It is alleged that between December 20 and 30, 2010, Anton Evans and Obel Prass stole a quantity of clothing valued at $210,000, property of Patricia Crossman. They were not required to plead to the indictable charge of simple larceny when it was read to them at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
However, they were both permitted an application for bail, which they made and the magistrate granted in the sum of $40,000 each.
The matter was adjourned until May 7 for report and fixture.
Meanwhile, Kent Flores was remanded to prison after declining to make a bail application, when he appeared before the magistrate on separate charges of break and enter and simple larceny.
The first allegation is that on April 9, at Georgetown, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Chandradat Chitramal and stole a Blackberry cellular phone valued at $98,000. The second charge read that on the same day the defendant also stole one bicycle valued at $5,000, property of the said Chandradat Chitramal. He was not required to plead to the indictable charges when they were read to him.
After declining to make a bail application, claiming that he had no anyone to pay the money for him, the defendant was remanded to prison, and his matter adjourned until May 27.
