Alleged gold chain thief on $100,000 bail

A 21-year-old man was on Friday charged with stealing a gold chain. Collin Denny called “Mallice” appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. He was released on $100,000 bail.
He denied the charge which stated that on March 18 at James Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, he stole from the person of Vickesh Sukhnandan, a gold chain valued at $275,000. The alleged thief is required to report to the Police station until the hearing and determination of his trial. His case continues on May 13.
Back in 2018, Denny, then 17, was charged with the offence of unlawful possession of firearm and ammunition. He was remanded to prison.
It was alleged that on June 13, 2018, at Howes Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, he had a .32 pistol along with one matching round of ammunition in his possession when he was not the holder of a firearm licence enforced at the time.
The court heard that Police ranks were on mobile patrol in the area when they searched Denny and found the gun stashed in the crotch of his pants.
But his lawyer had contended that he was in the company of six other males when the Police visited the area. The lawyer said that upon seeing the ranks, the other males ran away, leaving her client behind. The unlicenced gun, she said, was not found in her client’s possession but rather, on the street. (G1)
