Three members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) were each ordered to post $50,000 bail for for allegedly stealing a quantity of milk and butter. They appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday.
Victor Logan, 27, of Hadfield Street, Georgetown; Kevin Fitz, also 27, of West Ruimveldt, and Richard Charles, 26, denied the allegation which stated that between February 13 and 14 at Base Camp Ayanganna, they stole 11 bags of 2 kg milk powder valued $153,890 and several boxes of butter worth $57,400, property of the GDF.
Attorney Paul Fung-a-Fat, who represented Fitz, told the court that his client had no knowledge the stolen items were in the car in which they were travelling, since he was a passenger at the time of the discovery.
Magistrate Leron Daly instructed the defendants to return to court on March 6.
