A miner, of Dazzell Scheme, East Coast Demerara, was yesterday granted bail after he was charged for stealing from his partner when they booked a room for a three-day outing together at a hotel in Georgetown.

Charged: Glendon Moses

The defendant, Glendon Moses, 32, was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Moses denied the charge which stated that on December 29, 2019 at Status Hotel, he stole one phone valued $180,000, a phone charger valued $10,000, $180,000 cash and a hand sanitizer valued $500, property of Olester Hooper.
According to Police Prosecutor Goodman, on December 29, 2019 the men checked in at Status Hotel and were scheduled to spend three days. Around 11:30hrs, Hooper left the hotel with a female friend and the articles were left in the room with Moses.
When Hooper returned to the hotel several hours later, the receptionist told Hooper that Moses had checked out. Hooper then collected the key to the room and rushed to the room where he then conducted a search and discovered that the articles were missing.
The matter was reported at the City Constabulary, and an investigation was launched.
Prosecutor Goodman added that on January 4, 2020, Moses was arrested in the City Hall compound after he ran to seek help from a group of men who were chasing him, over stolen items.
A search was then conducted on Moses and the alleged stolen phone was found in his pants pocket. Moses was then arrested and charged for the offence. No objections were made by the prosecutor for bail to be granted to the defendant.
Chief Magistrate granted the defendant $15,000 bail and the matter was adjourned to January 28, 2020.
