Clement Humphrey, called “Delgado”, 45, of Angoy’s Avenue; New Amsterdam, was yesterday remanded to jail by Magistrate Shurdel Isaacs-Marcus, when he appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court on a charge of Break and Enter and Larceny.
Humphrey is charged with breaking and entering the dwelling house of George Batson of Princess Elizabeth Road, New Amsterdam, and stealing $8M August 22, last.
The court was told by Prosecutor Sergeant Phillip Sheriff that the victim left a black bag with $8M under his bed. He would check on it every day.  On the day in question, Batson checked the bag and ascertained that the money was intact.  He then secured his premises. Upon leaving for the market he saw Humphrey, whom he knew, next door. He asked him what he was doing there, the accused told him he was there to pick some coconuts.  Batson then left and went out, securing his gate in the process.
Upon his return around 16:00 hrs he noticed the lock on his gate broken. He then proceeded to his house and saw that the lock on the front door was wrenched open and the door left ajar. He went into his house and noticed that the place was ransacked.
He immediately checked in his bedroom under his bed and realized that the bag with the money was missing.
A report was made at the Central Police Station and investigations commenced.
Humphrey was sought after, but had disappeared from the area. He was subsequently arrested and taken into custody and charged.
Bail was refused and the accused was remanded to jail until September 30.
