A Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) man was on Tuesday release on bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan when he appeared before her to answer to a charge of larceny.

Yai Yai denied the charge and his lawyer requested bail on the grounds that his client has no previous brushes with the law and is not a flight risk. The lawyer also told the court that his client has a medical condition for which he requires urgent surgery.
The Chief Magistrate granted bail at the sum of 0,000. The case will continue on February 16 at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court.
