Porter remanded for theft of $500,000 gold chain

Oct 08, 2013 News

A 25-year-old porter was remanded yesterday on a charge of simple larceny which was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard that on October 4, Alexander Williams of Lot 296 Ram Singh Street, ‘B’ Field Sophia, snatched a $500,000 gold chain, property of Balram Shivraj, at the entrance of the GuyExpo event which was held at the Sophia Exhibition Centre.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
According to police reports, Shivraj was with a group of friends when Williams sneaked up on the victim and snatched the chain and made good his escape into the crowd. Shivraj then reported the matter.  A frantic search was conducted and Williams was then spotted in a crowd dancing with a woman.
Shivraj then identified the defendant as the one that stole his chain.
The chain was recovered by the officials as the defendant was busy gyrating in the fete.  Williams was apprehended and charged for the said offence.
Prosecutor Bharat Mangru objected to bail. The defendant was subsequently denied bail and is expected to return to court on October 24.
