An Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD) man has been remanded to prison after being charged with two counts of simple larceny.
Rasheed Mohamed, a 23-year-old construction worker of Annandale Sand Reef, ECD was arrested and charged by ranks from the Vigilance Police Station. He is accused of stealing items valued at $98,800 from Sherwin Sancho and an additional $45,000 worth of items from Michael John. Both incidents occurred between March 23 and 24 at Lusignan, ECD.
Mohamed appeared before Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court, where the charges were read to him. He pleaded not guilty to both counts and was remanded to prison. The matter has been adjourned to April 29 for statements.
This is not Mohamed’s first run-in with the law. In January 2022, he was jointly charged with 27-year-old Azad Mohamed for burglary. The duo, both residents of Annandale North, appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Vigilance Magistrates’ Court, where they faced charges under Section 233 of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01.
In that case, both men pleaded not guilty but were denied bail and remanded to prison.
