Convict charged again for stealing motorcycle

A man who previously spent 56 months in prison after being convicted for larceny on Monday appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, this time for allegedly stealing a motorcycle.
Randy Joseph, 34, of Lot 24 Country Road, Buxton, East Coast Demerara, denied that on January 8, 2018 at Waterloo Street, Georgetown, he stole one motorcycle valued $245,000, property of Godfrey Abel.
Police Prosecutor Dellon Sullivan objected to bail being granted to the accused based on the seriousness of the offence. He revealed that the Virtual Complainant (VC) went to Waterloo Street where he parked his motorcycle and went into a hotel.
However, when he returned, his motorcycle was nowhere to be found. As such, the matter was reported to the Police.
A number of days later, the defendant was stopped on the said motorcycle with registration number CJ 664 and he failed to provide the Police with the relevant documents.
As such, he was taken to the Vigilance Police Station where he was charged with the offence.
Magistrate Judy Latchman remanded the defendant to prison until January 29, 2018 when he would next appear in court.
