Stolen dress lands teen in court

Dec 31, 2008 News

Corretta Marshall, 18, of 29 New Road, Vreed-en-Hoop, and a customer service representative of Qualfon Guyana, yesterday appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson because she was accused of stealing a dress.
It is alleged that on December 23, last, she stole one dress worth $4,800 from Fazia’s Collections. Marshall pleaded not guilty to the present offence. When asked by Magistrate Robertson if she had stolen the dress, the defendant declared ‘No’.
“I was in the store trying on a dress; it didn’t fit so I put it back and tried on other dresses. When I was leaving the store a girl from the store stopped me and checked my bag; that’s when they discovered the dress and accused me of stealing it.”
The prosecution said that the dress the worker had found in Marshall’s bag was of similar style and design, and that only she would know of that.
“It was a girl I know; she put the dress in my bag,” Marshall told the court
Magistrate Robertson placed her on $20,000 bail, money much more than the cost of the dress, and ordered her to re-appear in court on February 10, next.
