$920,000 from the dwelling house of two persons.
Michael Jackson of Three Miles, Potaro Road is alleged to have stolen from within the dwelling house of Narconi Da Silva the sum of $200,000 belonging to Nellyana Garcia. It was further alleged that Jackson also stole the sum of $720,000 from within the same premises, property of Gilbert Rodrigues.
The incidents allegedly occurred on February 27, at Third Avenue, Bartica.
This matter was transferred to the Bartica Magistrate’s Court for March 16, after Jackson pleaded not guilty to the charges read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
Attorney Peter Hugh made an application for bail on behalf of Jackson. The lawyer told the court that his client has no previous brushes with the law. According to Hugh, at the time of the alleged incident Jackson was doing work for Da Silva. He said that two rooms are alleged to have been broken into and police subsequently arrested his client and place him in custody.
In addition, Hugh pointed out that the monies mentioned in the charge were not found in his client’s possession nor did he admit to taking it.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones did not oppose bail for the defendant. However, he requested that it be set in a substantial amount. The prosecutor told the court that the defendant is being investigated in relation to other criminal matters.
