An alleged lumber thief was granted $100,000 bail at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday, after he denied stealing a quantity of wood from a lumber yard.
Christopher Kumaji, 29, appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty, where he pleaded not guilty to a charge which stated that he, between March 6 and 7 at Georgetown, allegedly stole 250 bn lumber valued at $560,000 from the Raymond Dupurt Lumber Yard.
It was alleged that Kumaji, who is a horse-cart operator, previously worked with the lumber company and on the day in question, was caught with 178 bm lumber on his horse cart.
