Twenty-year-old Ryan Chow of 197 Third Street Anna Catherina, West Bank Demerara, yesterday appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court charged with Simple Larceny.
It is alleged that during the period October 22 to October 26, at Game Express on North Road, Lacytown, Chow stole five 32GB iPods valued at $672,000, four 16GB iPods valued at $155,000, ten PS Vita Games valued at $140,000, three PS Vita System valued at $295,000, two Nintendo PSI System valued at $130,000, twenty two Nintendo 3DS games valued at $264,000 and six PS Vita Memory Cards valued at $60,000. The total value of items stolen is $2,066,000, property of Steve Henriques.
To the allegation, the defendant pleaded not guilty.
According to the report given by Police Prosecutor Sergeant Bharat Mangru, Chow was employed at the store as a sales clerk. The court heard that the said store is monitored by a Close Circuit Television (CCTV) system.
Mangru told the court that on October 26, Henriques made checks on the stocks in the store and discovered that the items mentioned in the charge were missing. The court heard that Henriques then viewed the CCTV footage and the defendant was seen removing the items.
Mangru stated that the matter was then reported to the police and when the accused was confronted with the allegations he admitted to committing the act. Chow was then arrested and charged. Mangru told the court that one of the Nintendo PSI’s was recovered.
Chow, who told the court he is an orphan since both his parents are deceased, stated that he has an aunt who is willing to bail him.
The Prosecution however objected to bail on account of the seriousness of the offence as well as the penalty attached. Mangru opined that if granted bail the defendant may not return to court.
The Chief Magistrate remanded the man to prison and transferred the matter to the courtroom of Magistrate Fabayo Azore who then refused bail and adjourned the matter to November 15.
