A man who allegedly took the chance of breaking and entering the dwelling house of former national boxing champion and World Title contender, Howard “the Battersea Bomber” Eastman, and escaping with close to $1M worth in items was on Friday granted bail in the sum of $200,000.

Corporal Orin Joseph, the prosecutor, said that the accused knew Eastman and that Leacock once lived at Eastman’s house.
He stated that between Wednesday December 12 and Friday December 14, 2012 at West Canefield, East Canje, Berbice, Eastman secured his house and went out.
Some time between that time the bandit broke into the dwelling house and stole one Desk Top Computer, one Panasonic Amplifier, one digital camera, one cordless telephone, 2DSL modems, one computer wireless modem, one car device, and one Apple computer.
When Eastman returned, he noticed a window open and upon checking he discovered the items missing. A report was made to the police and following investigations the accused was arrested and charged.
He hadn’t any money to post bail and was taken to prison.
He will have to return to court on January 23.
