Three men were on Monday arraigned before Magistrate Annette Singh, at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, for stealing two all terrain vehicles (ATVs) from a storage bond.
Ryan Primo of 78 W North Sophia, Jeremiah Frank 21, of South Ruimveldt Gardens and Kerry Dick, 20 of Lot 15E Pike Street, Sophia pleaded not guilty to the charge of break and enter and larceny.
Particulars of the charge stated that between April 13 and April 16, at Ganges Street, Prashad Nagar, they broke and entered the storage bond of Bula Enterprise and stole two Honda ATVs, valued $7M, property of the said establishment.
Police Prosecutor Corporal, Deniro Jones, related that Frank was the mastermind behind the crime. He said that the vehicles were recovered and are currently lodged at the East La Penitence Police Station.
Attorney Mark Conway made a bail application on behalf of Primo. During the lawyer’s submission, he indicated that the stolen ATVs were never found in his client’s possession. He further noted that his client was beaten by the police during his detention at the station.
However, the prosecutor asked that Dick and Frank be remanded to prison because they have pending matters before the court of a similar nature, as well as robbery under arms.
Jones noted, “It is while they were out on bail, they committed this offence.”
The prosecutor pointed out that Frank provided the police with a different address at the station, while adding that he is a flight risk and may not return to court for trial.
Meanwhile, Jones had no objections to Primo being granted his pre-trial liberty and he was subsequently released on $300,000 bail. His co-defendants were remanded to prison.
The matter will be called again on May 4.
