An Alberttown man allegedly stole money, some $4,000, property of Michael Thom on April 22. He was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for allegedly stealing money.
Anthony Charles of Fourth Street, Alberttown, the defendant, pleaded not guilty to the charge and told the court that Thom is fabricating the story.
His Attorney, Paul Fung-A-Fat asked the Magistrate to release his client on reasonable bail because he is not a flight risk.
However, Police Corporal, Sean Gonsalves objected to the defendant being granted his pre -trial liberty because he has pending matters of a similar nature before the court. He also added that while the defendant was out on bail he allegedly committed this offence.
Charles will make his next court appearance on April 27.
