Man remanded to prison for stealing Nissan Titan vehicle
A man who told the court that he borrowed his boss’ vehicle to take a drive and get some drinks has been remanded to prison after being charged with simple larceny.
The defendant, 32-year-old Wayne Barker, of Lot 22 Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara, made his appearance at the Providence Magistrate’s Court, before Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty.
Barker is accused of stealing a Nissan Titan worth $3.5 million, the property of Ramchand Netram.
It is alleged that on April 24, last at Friendship, East Bank Demerara he stole the vehicle, GMM 2766 property of Ramchand Netram. To the charge the accused pleaded not guilty.
The court was told that on the day in question Netram parked his vehicle at his scrap metal site located at Friendship, East Bank Demerara but left the keys in the vehicle. Upon his return the vehicle was not at the location hence a report was made and an all station message was sent out.
Sometime later, Barker, who is employed by Netram was intercepted with the vehicle in the vicinity of Bank of Guyana.
When asked why he left the location with the vehicle he told the court that he merely wanted to go take a drink and a drive.
Police Prosecutor Shellon Daniels objected to bail. The court was also informed that Barker was only recently released from prison having served a six month sentence for break and enter and larceny.
He will return to court on May17th.
