Apr 17, 2012 News

 

 

Four men were given the surprise of their lives when they were caught red-handed by the police sifting through the belongings of a man whose house they had broken into.
The men were charged with burglary when they appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine- Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Shane Tyson, 23, of 92 East La Penitence, Georgetown; Elton Bovell, 39, of 339 Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara; Carl Tutor, 22 of 66 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown; and Sheldon Douglas, 32 of 59 William Street, Kitty; all pleaded not guilty to the offence which they reportedly committed at the home of Cecil Peterson.
Police prosecutor, Lionel Harvey, alleged that on April 13, last, at 78 West Ruimveldt, around 23:30 hours the men were caught at Peterson’s residence where they had gone after receiving certain information. The prosecutor said that the men were found in the section of the home where the victim would normally store energy drinks.
The police further alleged that when asked by the ranks what they were doing in the home they could not give an answer. Further enquires pertaining to how the men had gotten into the house, proved that they had used a key.
It was further revealed that two of the defendants were Peterson’s former employees.
Defence Lawyer Adrian Thompson represented Tyson, George Thomas was for Douglas and Lawrence Harris represented Bovell. The attorneys all claimed that their clients were beaten by the police and this promoted the court to cause an investigation.
The particulars of the charge had stated that the men attempted to commit a felony and were interrupted by the police.  The prosecutor asked for substantial bail. He also requested that conditions be imposed as a stipulation of their pre-trial liberty.
The four men were each granted $100,000 bail. They were also ordered to report to the relevant police station pending the conclusion of the matter. They will return to court on April 18.
