Fish vendor accused of stealing cousin’s property
Bail was yesterday set to the tune of $100,000 for a fish vendor who was arraigned before a senior city Magistrate for allegedly swiping a quantity of electronic appliances from his cousin.
Bruce Sudin pleaded not guilty to the simple larceny charge which was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It is alleged that between April 16 and April 18, at Lot 32 Public Road, Agricola, East Bank Demerara he stole his cousin Lakeram Sankar’s Compact Disc (CD) deck and a Digital Virtual Disc (DVD) set. The items listed in the charge amounted to $81,000.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Michael Grant who briefed the court, explained that the two share the same residence at Agricola. He said on April 16, Sankar left home with the articles intact and had returned on April 18 to discover that they were missing.
The matter was reported and subsequent investigations led to Sudin being arrested and charged for the offence.
Grant stated that the accused has no prior charges or convictions and offered no objections to him being granted bail.
The Chief, in response, granted bail and adjourned the matter to May 16 for statements.
