Three juveniles who were caught red handed in the New Amsterdam market were on Friday placed on $100,000 bail each by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo when they appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on three charges of Break and Enter and Larceny.
Two of the youths are 14 years old while the other is 15. Two hail from Angoy’s Avenue (Cow Dam) while the third lives at Canefield East Canje.
According to Prosecutor Corporal, Roberto Figueira, the three accused, on Tuesday last, at Strand New Amsterdam, broke and entered five stalls in the New Amsterdam market.
The accused allegedly broke into the clothing stall of Lynette David and stole and damaged clothing to the value of $240,000.
They are also accused of breaking into the confectionary stall of Nizam Ally and stealing a quantity of items to the cost of $28,840. The third charge states that on the same day they broke into the stall of Nazmoon Mohamed and stole a quantity of Coffee, Gera, Ovaltine, ketchup, curry powder and Massala to the total cost of $13,120. They were not required to plead.
The three youths were apprehended after a lengthy search in the market that lasted from Tuesday night until Wednesday morning.
The victims had secured their respective stalls around 16:30 hrs. Around 21:00 hrs constables at the market heard strange noises emanating from inside the market.  Upon checking the three youths were seen. They made a run for it and subsequently hid in a stall when the security went after them.
Upon checking it was realized that the locks for four stalls were broken off; among the stalls were vegetable, confectionary, and grocery stalls.
Pieces of fruits and vegetables and other remains were strewn about the market and there was evidence that most of the things stolen in the market were consumed by the youths.
In an effort to evade capture the trio raised a zinc sheet off the market roof and jumped into a boutique and hid themselves until morning, when they were found.
According to the Acting Town Clerk of New Amsterdam, “The amount of food that they ate earlier had an effect on them as they defecated in the boutique.”
They will have to return to court on May 29.
