Stacy Sampson 28, of El Dorado Village, West Coast Berbice, appeared before (ag) Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ to answer a charge of pilfering $4,585 from the Guyana Defense Force.

Police prosecutor Venetta Pindar did not object to bail, and Magistrate Beharry allowed her bail in the sum of $25,000. The Magistrate also instructed that she report to court on January 31, for sentencing, when a probation report is to be sought.
Also making his first court appearance before the same Magistrate was Kirth Barrat of the Soesdyke/ Linden Highway, who was charged with possession or narcotics.
He pleaded not guilty and he too was unrepresented.
It is alleged that on January 8, the police were carrying out a narcotics raid when a search was conducted in his house.
The ranks found 23 kilograms of marijuana in a bedroom.
Police prosecutor Stephen Telford objected to bail and requested that the matter be transferred to the Providence Magistrate’s Court.
The matter was made returnable for January 12.
