An interior worker was yesterday charged with stealing a machine from his place of employment, Troy Resources.
A court heard that between July 13 and July 15, at Camp Puruni Hillside, operator Renson Rawlins stole an alternator, valued at $300,000, and which was the property of Troy Resources.
Attorney Jerome Khan, who appeared for Rawlins, requested reasonable bail, while stating that although the alleged incident occurred in July, Rawlins had been employed with the company up until a month ago.
He further related that the machine had been borrowed from the company by someone else, who instead of returning the original item brought back a defective one.
Prosecutor Neville Jeffers did not object to bail, while noting that the items have since been recovered and are in police custody.
Rawlins was granted his release on $70,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan and the matter was adjourned to November 10, when it is to be called at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
