Duo accused of stealing from Rusal

Sep 26, 2008 News

Two men were yesterday granted bail after they appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing from Rusal Bauxite Company.

Jermaine Bell and Trevor Clarke made their appearance before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.
It is alleged that on September 7, at Aroaima, in the Berbice River, they stole one Boring Bar Machine, valued at $2.5 M, property of Rusal Bauxite Company. They pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Bell was represented by defence counsel Linden Amsterdam who, in seeking reasonable bail for his client, told the court that his client has a fixed place of abode at Amelia’s Ward, Linden, that he is 19 years of age and is gainfully employed as a mechanic.  He added that the stolen item was not found in his client’s possession.

According to Amsterdam, the fact that his client was placed on station bail and turned up for his court hearing clearly shows that he is no flight risk. Clarke was represented by attorney Glenn Hanoman, who also sought bail for his client.

The lawyer said that Clarke, like Bell, has a fixed place of abode at Kaneville, East Bank Demerara, is employed by the same company and was released on $100,000 station bail.

According to Hanoman, the bail was posted by Clarke’s colleagues who were present in court to show solidarity.

He added that his client poses no flight risk to the court since he was been reporting to the police on every occasion when he was told to.

However, Police Prosecutor Sherwin Matthews objected and added that the two men were caught with the stolen item.

He said that one of the accused was seen transporting the item in the company of the other accused.
Bail was, however, fixed at $250,000 each.

The men are to return to court on October 30 and the matter has been transferred to the Kwakwani Magistrate’s Court.
