Dennis Simon of 35 Public Road, Melanie Damishana yesterday appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry where he was charged with Break and Enter and Larceny.
It is alleged that between October 21 and 22, at 53 David Street Kitty, Simon broke and entered Spicy Dish and stole two pans of pine tarts valued $5000, one 112 volt battery valued $35,000, one electrical cylinder valued $16,000, one delivery bag valued $5,000 and two gallons of paint valued $10,000. The total value of the items stolen is $71,000, all property of Karen Pollard.
To the allegations, the defendant pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Bharat Mangru told the court that Pollard, who is the proprietor of Spicy Dish, resides on the premises and secured the entity on October 21, the day of the incident .On October 22 at about 1:30hrs, the victim was home when she received information that the accused was arrested with the items listed in the charge.
The court heard that Pollard then checked the restaurant and discovered the western door was open and that the articles were missing. On October 24, she reported the matter to the Brickdam Police Station where she identified the items.
The accused was then arrested and charged.
The Prosecution offered no objections to bail.
Simon, who claims to work in the ‘bush,’ begged the court for mercy as he pleaded his innocence. “Man watch at ma hands, where I could eva break and enter?” he questioned, shortly before he revealed that he was imprisoned for three years after he was found guilty in 1992 on a wounding charge.
Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry set bail at $100,000 and Simon is expected to return to court on November 29.
