A miner who robbed his lover during a three-day stay at the Status Hotel in Georgetown was granted bail on Wednesday after he was charged for the offence.
Glen Moses, 30, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge after it was read to him.
The charge stated that on December 29th, 2019, at Status Hotel, Moses stole a phone valued $180,000, a phone charger valued $10,000, a hand sanitizer valued $500 and $18,000 in cash from Alister Hooper.
According to the city constabulary prosecutor, Moses and Hooper went to hotel with the intention of spending three days there. However, during the second day at 11:30 hours, Hooper left the hotel with a female friend, leaving behind the articles mentioned in the charge in the hotel room with Moses. Upon his return, he was told by the receptionist that Moses had checked out of the hotel. Hooper subsequently retrieved the room key and went into the room, where he discovered the articles missing and his clothes in disarray.
Hooper went to the receptionist and told her what had happened after which he went to the city constabulary and reported the matter.
On January 4th, Moses was arrested at the City Mall and after being taken to a City Constabulary Outpost, a search was conducted of his person and the phone was found.
The prosecutor did not object to bail but requested that conditions be attached if granted.
As a result Moses was granted bail in the sum of $200,000 and told to report to the City Constabulary Outpost every Monday and Friday at 9 am until the completion of the trial. He was also told to lodge his passport and the matter was adjourned until February 23rd.
