Grove man granted bail after $1M jewelry theft
A 31-year-old vendor, who was on remand for several weeks following a robbery involving more than $1 million worth of gold jewellery that was stolen, was granted bail by Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
Leonard Farley, of Lot 3 Grove Public Road, East Bank Demerara (EBD), was granted bail in the sum of $150,000.
The market vendor had denied the charge when it was read to him on his first appearance before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Farley is accused of robbing Wayne Buckles of $1,469,000 worth of gold jewellery while being armed with a knife at Black and White Bridge, Tucville, East La Penitence on September 29.
However, his attorney, George Thomas, had informed the court that his client was nowhere near the area when the incident occurred.
He made an application for bail to be granted in a reasonable sum.
