A man who performed the daring feat of snatching two gold chains off of a senior police officer’s neck in Berbice was on Friday remanded to prison on a charge of larceny from the person.
Luindo Junior Davis, 20 of Springlands, Corentyne, and of Murphy Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, appeared in the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court, before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo and pleaded not guilty.
The man who told the court that he is a fisherman, was refused bail.
Prosecuting Sergeant Phillip Sheriff told the court that on Boxing Day last year, at Matthew Allen Road, Senior Superintendent of Police, Marlon Chapman, the Crime Chief of ‘B’ Division was with others at Matthew Allen Road in New Amsterdam when Davis came up and snatched the chains valued at $1.3 million and ran. He was pursued but made good his escape.
Acting on information the police surprised the man at Springlands on the Upper Corentyne as he was making arrangement to flee to Suriname.
Objecting to bail the prosecutor stated that if granted bail there is every likelihood that the man may not return for his trial, since when he was captured he was on his way to Suriname.
He also stated that the matter is still being investigated in respect to the recovery of the chains. Magistrate Nagamootoo refused bail and fixed the next trial date for January 28.
The man had told investigators that he was hungry and broke and that he had hidden in the bushes for the entire night.
