A 25-year-old man of Lot 3666 Christiani Street, North Ruimveldt appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday before Magistrate Faith McGusty to answer to the charge of break and enter and larceny.
It is alleged that between 15th June, at 21:00 hours and 16th June, at 6:25 hours, at Lot 1185 Pigeon Place, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, the defendant, Jomal Waldron, broke and entered the dwelling house of Shevon Wray and stole one BMX bicycle valued $27,000, as well as $17,900 in cash, all property of Wray.
The court heard that Wray had secured her home and retired to bed. Upon awakening, she discovered that several louvre window panes from the southern side of her house had been removed and the articles mentioned in the charge were missing. She then reviewed her CCTV footage and observed the accused with the missing articles. He was later contacted and informed of the allegation and under caution admitted to the offence of break and enter and larceny. After further investigation, Waldron was charged.
None of the articles was recovered.
Police prosecutor, Quincy Lacon, objected to bail over the prevalence of the offence. He also said that the accused was charged three times and convicted twice. Furthermore, he did not give the police his place of residence.
Bail was refused and the defendant was remanded to prison until July 12, 2023.
