Apr 09, 2017 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

As the matter continued into the multimillion dollar theft from Jumbo Jet Auto Sales and Business enterprise, one man has been freed so far.
Three employees of the business entity, Jumbo Jet Auto Sales and Business Enterprise located at Bush Lot, West Coast Berbice, were charged with simple larceny.
One of the men, Awad Mohamed, 24, an electrician of Bush Lot village, West Coast Berbice was on trial for stealing two computer boxes valued at $1M.
The other two, Bishram Heralall, called “Ryan”, 24, an electrician of No 7 West Coast Berbice, and Zaheer Yacoob, 22, a mechanic, of 118 Waterloo, Bath, West Coast Berbice, are jointly charged with simple larceny.
They are accused of stealing a fuel injector and temperature gauge valued at $250,000.
They were granted bail in the sum of $100,000 each.
The incident is said to have been committed between September 13 and September15, 2016.
However when the matter continued in the Fort Wellington Magistrate’s Court, the matter against Mohamed was dismissed, due to lack of evidence. Mohamed was represented by Attorney-at-law Joel Edmond.
The matter is set to continue on Monday.
The prosecution’s case as presented by Corporal Rochelle Mars is that, the men had exclusive access to the heavy duty facility and workshop at Bush Lot. They reportedly removed the articles during the time mentioned.
They reportedly made arrangements with a buyer to sell the items. However something went wrong with the arrangements. As the men were reportedly in the process of taking the articles to sell, the owners were tipped off. The police were informed and the men were contacted and ordered to return the items.
Two of the men had skipped work on the day with various excuses.
