Mar 13, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

A man was yesterday ordered to post $75,000 bail after he was charged with breaking and entering a residence, when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The allegation against Jevon Crawford stated that on March 5, at Hardina and Norton Streets, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Kenneth Marshall and stole a quantity of Digicel phone card valued $50,000, some broken pieces of gold valued $35,000, two bottles of rum valued $25,000, 12 redbull valued $12,000 and UD$14 along with GYD$40,000, all totalling$164,000.
An unrepresented Crawford pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
Police Inspector Michael Grant related to the court that on the day in question the victim secured his home and then left to take his daughter to school. The victim left the defendant in his home and upon his return he noticed that the door was ripped open. Marshall then made several checks and observed that the items mentioned in the charge were missing.
The matter was reported to the police and the defendant was arrested and charged.
Grant had no objection to the defendant being released on bail.
Marshall however, informed the court that he did not wish to proceed with the matter since the defendant has compensated him $100,000.
The magistrate told him that she will take his statement into consideration when it is time for the trial.
Crawford was ordered to return t o court on March 31 for statements.
