Two former employees from K&B Mining Company were yesterday placed on $200,000 bail by Acting Chief Magistrate, Melissa Robertson.
Bishram Samaroo, 18, of 334 Section ‘B’ Non Pareil, East Coast Demerara, and Steven Marks, 22, of 88 Atlantic Ville East Coast Demerara, pleaded not guilty to stealing 235 lbs of mercury (quicksilver), valuing $1.7M, property of Onkar Persaud.
The defendants were represented by attorney at law Rexford Jackson, who in a bail application, told the court that both defendants were employed with the company up until the date of the allegations.
He said both defendants worked as porters and have no pervious convictions.
The lawyer stated that the offence is an eminently bailable and thus bail should be admitted in a reasonable sum.
Jackson said that the amount of quicksilver which was allegedly taken is a very large amount, noting that the company has a security guard which would make it very difficult to remove the item.
There was no objection to bail by the prosecution. The defendants are expected to make another court appearance on July 17.
