Accused gold chain thief remanded

An alleged gold chain thief who pretended to hug a woman while robbing her of a gold chain was on Monday remanded to prison.
Twenty-nine-year-old Carl Crandon, of Sophia, Greater Georgetown, was brought before city Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer for his crime.
He denied that on March 1, 2018 at Lombard Street, Georgetown, he stole the gold chain valued $82,000, property of Marlyn Hinds.
The prosecution is contending that Hinds was walking along Lombard Street when Crandon put his hand around her shoulder as if he was going to hug her, but rather removed the chain.
The matter was reported, and the defendant was arrested and charged. The case will continue on March 19, 2018.
