Qualfon employee on $75,000 bail for gold chain theft

Jan 15, 2011 News

Kevlyn Velene, 18, a customer service representative employed by Qualfon Guyana Inc, found herself before Acting Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court charged with simple larceny.
The young woman who pleaded not guilty was unrepresented.
It is alleged that on November 25, at North Road, Georgetown, Velene in the company of her boyfriend, visited the home of Pearl Wiggins. It was during the visit that Velene carted off with one gold band, a gold chain and one gold ring that were on a table.
It was after the defendant and her boyfriend had left that Wiggins discovered that the articles were missing.
The matter was reported to the police who then arrested the accused.
Police Prosecutor Lionel Harvey told the court that the accused cooperated with officers and the chain was recovered.
Harvey did not object to bail, hence magistrate Beharry allowed Velene bail in the sum of $75,000 and made the matter returnable for January 17.
And Hugh Curt made his first court appearance before the same magistrate and had his sentencing postponed after he pleaded guilty to the charge of break and enter.
According to the police, Curt broke into the business place of Mahendra Persaud on January11.
It is also alleged that on the day in question, Persaud received a telephone call and ventured to the premises.
While there he observed movements and summoned the police who responded promptly and were able to apprehend the suspect.
Curt told the court, “I did break into the place but I am so sorry.” The father of three minors nervously explained to the magistrate that he was a taxi driver prior to his car being torched.
Chief Magistrate Beharry ordered a probation report and postponed his sentencing for January 28.
