Kaieteur News – A 23-year-old clerk was yesterday placed on $450,000 bail for allegedly swindling over $500, 000 from a security firm. The defendant, Darrell LaFargue of 95 Block ‘F’ North Sophia, Greater Georgetown appeared before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Issacs-Marcus in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

Charged, Darrell LaFargue.

The court heard that a total of 56 fraud charges were made out against LaFargue, but only 15 charges were read to him yesterday. Those 15 charges allege that between August 21, 2021, and September 4, 2021, at Regent Street, Georgetown while being employed as a clerk or servant at Queensway Security Service Inc., he stole the sum of $585, 028.
The defendant denied the charges that were read to him and he was initially placed on $40,000 bail on each of the 15 fraud charges. However, the bail was later reduced to $30,000, on each of the 15 charges. The condition of the bail is that he reports to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown, every Friday until the hearing and determination of his matter.
Moreover, Police Prosecutor Annalisa Brummell told the court that when the allegations were put to the defendant, he gave a caution statement in which he admitted to the crime.
LaFargue is expected to make his next court appearance on November 1, 2021.
