Meanwhile, a shopkeeper was yesterday remanded after being accused of stealing a cell phone and cash from a woman.
The charge against Anthony Charles stated that on October 9, at Lombard Street, he stole an HTC smart phone valued $200,000 and $10,000 cash from Odessa Fraser.
According to the prosecution, both the phone and the cash were recovered and Charles was positively identified by Fraser.
