No bail for teen who gave court wrong addresses

Aug 28, 2012 News

Leslie Watson, an 18-year-old porter was yesterday remanded to prison after he provided the court with conflicting information as it relates to his address.
Watson is accused of stealing a component of a truck wheel worth over $100,000 and which belonged to Sukdeo Persaud. The incident allegedly occurred between August 23 and 24 at Ice House Road, Timehri, East Bank Demerara.
The simple larceny charge against Watson was indictable and as such he did not enter a plea when he appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday.  The teenager consequently made a bail request and gave his address as Lot 63 Kuru Kuru College, Linden/Soesdyke Highway. However the prosecution opposed the bail application and stated that the address the accused provided to the court differed from the one listed in the police file.
The prosecution said that Watson had initially given the police his address as Soesdyke Junction on the day he was arrested and charged with the crime.
In addition the police file also had another address in Bartica affixed to it. After the prosecution submitted a justifiable reason for opposing Watson’s bail application, the court ruled that the accused is a flight risk and he will remain incarcerated until October 3.
