Man granted bail for stealing cell phones
A man was released on $75,000 bail yesterday when he made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer a charge of simple larceny.
Malcolm Harry, 23, denied the allegation which stated that between March 15 and April 18, at Stabroek Market, he stole five cell phones valued in excess of $170,000, property of Kwame Sinclair.
Police Corporal, Sean Gonsalves, told the court that the defendant is employed by the victim. He added that on numerous occasions Sinclair would notice that phones were missing from his store. So he decided to install cameras to catch the culprit.
Upon reviewing footages from the camera the defendant was caught removing the phones. A search was then conducted on his person and two of the phones were recovered in his haversack.
Gonsalves did not object to bail but asked that it be granted in a substantial amount.
The matter will be called again on June 1.
