Iphone thief refused bail

Dec 31, 2016 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

Twenty-seven-year-old Claude Bazilio, was refused bail when he appeared in the Fort Wellington Magistrate Court on Thursday, to answer a charge of simple larceny.
On December 26, last, Jeremy Nieunkirk, an overseas-based Guyanese, home for the holidays, had gone into a shop at Number Twenty-nine Village, West Coast Berbice to effect a purchase when he placed his Iphone, valued at $180,000, on the counter. While at the counter, a relative called out to him causing him to turn away for about a minute. When he returned the phone was missing.
Enquires were made, but Jeremy Nieunkirk was unable to recover his iphone. The matter was subsequently reported to the police at Fort Wellington who were able to trace the phone to Grove, East Bank Demerara.
Ranks from Fort Wellington visited the East Bank Demerara location on December 28, and subsequently arrested and charged Bazilio after he admitted to stealing the phone and giving it to another individual to keep. The phone was eventually recovered.
When Bazilio appeared in court, the prosecution applied the Administration of Justice Act, and the accused entered a plea of not guilty. The prosecution objected to bail on the grounds that the accused seemed to have no fixed place of abode. He gave his address as South Ruimveldt (no lot number given); New Hope, East Bank Demerara (no lot number); and Northwest District.
The matter is scheduled to be called in court on January 4.
