Jan 17, 2020 News

A teenage boy was yesterday arraigned before Acting Chief Magistrate, Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, days after the defendant’s brother carried a group of policemen to a place where the defendant alleged hid the stolen loot.
The defendant was charged for breaking and entering a house and carting off several household items that cost a total of $173,500.
Roberto Perez, of Kumaka, North West District, pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on January 11, 2020, at Aquero Airstrip, North West District, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Juan Marie Ferreira.
The court heard that the defendant stole a mattress, a table model stove, solar light bulbs, wallpaper, DVD player and mosquito nets.
The 18-year-old defendant, who works with his older brother as a phone technician, was able to communicate with the court through the use of a Spanish interpreter.
Police prosecutor Adunni Inniss made no objection to bail being granted to the defendant but asked that the defendant report to the Aquero Police Station every Monday until the completion of the matter.
The prosecutor then highlighted that the defendant’s smaller brother took the police to Rinka Village, and the articles were recovered.
Acting Chief Magistrate Marcus granted the defendant bail in the sum of $50,000. The defendant is expected to make his next court appearance today.
