A 20-year-old Lindener who police allegedly caught after tracking one of four stolen Iphones was yesterday ordered to post $150,000 bail after he denied a simple larceny charge.
Lester Drakes, of Lot 161 Half Mile, Wismar, Linden, appeared before Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and denied the charge, which alleged that between September 24 and September 25, last, at Lot 1675 Central Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden, he broke and entered Lawrence Fitz’s dwelling place and stole a quantity of Iphones and computers.
The man was represented by Attorney-at-Law Tiffany Jeffery, who asked that bail be granted to her client.
The lawyer added that her client was previously charged for a similar offence but that matter was dismissed.
On the day in question, about 22:10 hrs, Fitz secured his home and went to bed.
The next day he discovered a window open and the articles missing. A report was made to the station and a party of police officers tracked one of his Iphones which was stolen. The instrument was found in Drakes’s possession.
Drakes was instructed to make his next court appearance on October 20 when he will make an appearance before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
