Man granted bail after home breakage
A South Ruimveldt resident was on Wednesday released on $75,000 bail after pleading not guilty to a charge of break and enter and simple larceny.
Colin Klass, 49, is accused of breaking into the dwelling house of Althea Squires and stealing a quantity of items between September 22 and September 28, last, at South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
The court heard that the defendant carted off five pairs of sneakers, five pairs of sandals, and a curling iron among other items belonging to Squires.
In addition, Klass was accused of stealing a digital camera property of Wallace McRae. The defendant had no legal representation.

Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones, told the court that the defendant and the virtual complainant reside in the same house. Jones said that while in police custody, Klass admitted to stealing the items, which were later recovered.
While Jones had no objection to the defendant being granted pre-trial liberty, he asked that bail be granted in a substantial amount.
Squires, who was present for the brief court hearing, told Magistrate Ann McLennan that the defendant is a close family friend. She added that McRae was her father.
Klass was ordered to be on good behaviour until the completion of a trial. He was also instructed to stay away from Squires.
This matter comes up again on October 19, for statements.
