Annandale man remanded; Mon Repos contractor freed

Two men appeared before separate courts on Wednesday on charges related to theft, with one being remanded while the other walked free after the latter victim requested no further action.

Azad Mohammed, a 33-year-old construction worker from Annandale Sand Reef, East Coast Demerara (ECD), has been remanded to prison after being charged with Simple Larceny.
The charge stems from an incident between Sunday, March 23rd, and Monday, March 24th, 2025, at Lusignan, ECD, where Mohammed allegedly stole items valued at GY$ 98,800 from Sherwin Sancho. The charge falls under Section 164 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
Mohammed was arrested on Wednesday morning, and brought before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court. The charge was read to him, and he pleaded not guilty. However, bail was not granted, and he was remanded to prison until his next court appearance, which is set for April 29, for statements to be submitted.

Meanwhile, in a separate case, Satesh Madray, a 41-year-old contractor from Agriculture Road, Mon Repos, ECD, had his charge of Break-and-Enter-and-Larceny dismissed after the victim opted not to proceed with the case.
Madray was arrested on March 23 and charged on Wednesday in connection with an alleged break-in at the business place of Andre Marcus in Ogle, ECD, on the same date.
He appeared at the Sparendaam Magistrates’ Court #1 before Magistrate Clive Nurse, where he pleaded not guilty. However, the victim informed the court that he did not wish to pursue further legal action, leading to the matter being dismissed.
While Madray walked free, Mohammed remains behind bars as his legal battle continues.
