Oct 11, 2008 News

‘We were returning the engine’

Mark Harris and Louis Mc Donald managed to secure bail yesterday when they appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson charged with simple larceny. It is alleged that, on Tuesday last, they stole one outboard engine, valued at $150,000, property of Imtiaz Baksh.

Both men pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The men told the court that a man asked them to remove the item, after telling them that the engine was his. According to the men, while they were taking the item to a location, they were informed that the item belonged to Baksh.

The men said that, as they were returning the engine, they were stopped by the police and told to take the item to the Kitty Police Station.

Mc Donald told the court that they did not go into a yard to remove the item, since it was on someone’s parapet for the longest while.

Each of the men was placed on $50,000 bail and ordered to return to court on November 17.

And in the same court yesterday, a labourer was also granted bail on a charge of simple larceny. The accused, Frederick Prince, allegedly stole five knives from Guyana Stores Limited on Thursday. He pleaded not guilty.

He told the court that he was set-up by the security guards, who approached him and accused him of stealing previously from the store.

Prince told the court that he is employed with John Fernandes Limited, and that on the day in question, a female security guard approached him and told him that she wanted to search him. According to Prince, the woman left him and then returned with a male guard, who came to him with four knives and accused him of stealing them.

However, a security guard who was present in the court said that the stolen items were found in the man’s crotch.

The court was told by the prosecution that the accused in a known shoplifter. He, however, was granted $10,000 bail and ordered to return to court on November 12.
