A security guard accused of stealing $155,000 worth of tools was yesterday admitted to bail in the sum of $100,000 when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Accused is Louis Mc Donald, 37, who on August 17 at Eccles, East Bank Demerara, is alleged to have stolen one crankshaft and a crusher-hammer totalling $155,000 in value, property of Khemraj Brijlal.
The defendant was not required to enter a plea to the indictable simple larceny charge when it was read to him.
Mc Donald who resides at 1 Arapaima Street, East La Penitence, was unrepresented by counsel but requested bail and the prosecution had no objections.
The court then set bail at $100,000 and ordered the defendant to attend the Providence Magistrates’ Court on October 15 for report into the continuation of the matter.
No facts of what transpired on the day in question were presented to the court.
