Rampaging Kuru Kuru teen burglars refused bail

Mar 21, 2012 News

Two teenagers, who went on a burglary rampage in the Soesdyke/Linden Highway area, were yesterday remanded to jail.
Eighteen-year-old Javon Crawford called “Big Fish” of First Street, Kuru Kuru; Emmanuel Joseph called “Lil Fish” of the same address and a 17-year-old boy, were all implicated in a series of break-ins in their community.
Joseph was, however, absent from court since the police have been unable to apprehend him.
The two present were not required to plead to the charge. It was alleged that between March 3 and 4, the defendants broke into the dwelling home of Althea Andreas and stole three cell phones, I-pods and a video game all totaling $355,000.
The police said that the persons are known characters to lawmen. The court heard that during the two days, Andreas secured her home and left for her wedding. She later discovered that the articles were missing. A report was made to the police.
On March 14 last, the boys also allegedly broke into the home of Charlene James and stole a digital camera and a laptop, valued at $372,000. The victims are elderly persons who after returning home from the city, found that a window had been opened. After making checks, they noticed the items missing.
The rampage continued. Between March 14 and March 16 at Kuru Kuru, the defendants reportedly broke into the home of Paulette Samaroo stealing the woman’s wedding band, cash and other jewelry- a total value of $50,000. It is alleged that Samaroo had gone to a wake when she received information about the break in. The woman, along with police ranks, went to the home of the defendants. The two defendants who faced the court reportedly admitted to the offence when questioned by the police but the third accused escaped.
On March 14, the boys again attacked another home. This time the residence of Rudolph Thorne. They allegedly stole two laptops from the shop owner who secured his business before heading out. The man claimed that a southern window was found open and the articles missing. The boys allegedly admitted to this offence.
On March 16, the charge stated, the boys reportedly stole two bottles of alcoholic beverages; one Grey Goose and one bottle Alize valued at $30,000. This victim reportedly received a message from his stepfather telling him about the burglary.
The court finally heard that between March 16 and 17, the teens reportedly entered the home of Rickford Samaroo and stole a pair of Nike Air sneakers, a laptop and a T-shirt costing a total of $166,000. These articles were found missing when persons awoke and discovered louvers missing from a window in the home.
The defendants were represented by Attorney- at- Law Paul Fung-a-Fat. The lawyer asked for pre-trial liberty for his clients.
However, Magistrate Leslie Sobers, who was presiding at the Providence Magistrate’s Court, denied bail.
