Appearing yesterday before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry was gold miner Brian Jordan of 318 North East La Penitence who faced a charge of Simple Larceny.
It is alleged that during the period October 22 – 27, at North East La Penitence, Jordan stole two gold bands each valued at $20,000, one gold finger ring valued at $60,000 and one pair of gold earrings valued at $15,000. The total value of items stolen is $115,000, property of Bhisundai Persaud.
To the allegations, the defendant pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Bharat Mangru told the court that Jordan and Persaud are known to each other as they are neighbours. Mangru stated that Persaud had entrusted Jordon with the keys to her house after she had secured the items in her chest of drawers.
Mangru told the court that when Persaud returned home she noticed the items missing. The court heard that the women then made a report to the police station and the man was arrested and charged with the offence.
Prosecution offered no objection to bail.
When Magistrate Sewnarine-Beharry addressed the accused, he stated that he offered to repay the woman and she accepted.
The Chief Magistrate then instructed Jordon to complete payment by the next hearing of the matter which is scheduled for November 18 and placed him on $125,000 bail.
