Linden mechanic before court for stolen engine

Mar 11, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

A Linden man was yesterday placed on $100,000 bail yesterday when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It is alleged that Derwin Freeman, a mechanic, stole one six-cylinder caterpillar engine valued $3.5M, on February 22, at Arangoy Backdam, Cuyuni River.
The court further alleged that on the said date, at the same location, Henry Da Silva received one six-cylinder caterpillar engine, valued $3.5M, knowing same to be stolen.
The engine is the property of Ricardo Seelall.
Both Freeman and Da Silva pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Police prosecutor Bharrat Mangru informed the court that the victim did not want to proceed with the matter against Da Silva.
Seelall took to the witness box and testified that he received $1M compensation from Da Silva and did not want to proceed with the matter. He went on to say that he was not forced or threatened to make the decision.
Subsequently, the matter against Da Silva was dismissed.
Freeman’s attorney, Dexter Todd, in his bail application told the court that his client resides at 11 Blueberry Hill, Wismar, Linden. Counsel said that he has six children and should be granted bail because he is not a flight risk.
Freeman was ordered by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine Beharry to post $100,000 bail. He was also instructed to report to the officer in charge of ‘F’ Division every fortnight commencing from March 20.
Freeman will make his next court appearance on March 27, at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
