Three Linden youths charged for break and enter

Dec 19, 2009 News

Three Linden youths were yesterday granted bail by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertsaon.
Akeem Alexander, 19, Volonza Hackett, 18 and Randolph Williams, 20, all of Wismar Linden, all pleaded guilty to the charge of break and enter and larceny, but after giving their explanation the magistrate entered a not guilty plead for each.
It is alleged that on December 14 the three broke and entered the store of Clive Granville and stole four car batteries, a chain saw, four plane blades, a tool kit with tools, 10 gallons of gasoline, a bow saw and a measuring tape all at a total value of $1M. The men all pleaded guilty to the charge. Police prosecutor Stephen Telford who had no objections to bail stated that all three men were employed by Granville and were not paid for their duties.
He added that due to frustration the men resorted to committing the act.
Telford said that all the articles except two batteries were recovered and added that the men have been fully co-operating with the police. He added that Granville is alleging that there were four batteries while the three accused are saying that there were two and that they were recovered.
The three accused explained that they were all employed at the store owned by Granville for two weeks and were to be paid $1,500 a day which they never received.
The magistrate then told the men what they did was not the right way of dealing with the issue. She added that there is a legal course in which they should have taken.
She then granted the three $50,000 bail each and transferred the matter to the Christiansburg Magistrate’s Court where they are expected to appear on January 19.
