Duo charged for stealing household items from Providence store

East Ruimveldt Squatting Area residents Kevin Pitt and Kevin Thompson were on Wednesday arraigned before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in that Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on a charge alleging that they stole a quantity of household items from The Home Store at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
The Police have said that between November 1, and December 16, 2023, at Block M Providence, EBD, they stole $1,890,037 in household items from the store.
The 29-year-old Pitt, a father of three; and the 32-year-old Thompson, a security guard and father of five, have both denied the charge.
The Police prosecutor opposed bail being granted these defendants on the ground that they had led investigators to a house where the stolen goods were found.
Notwithstanding the prosecution’s argument, Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus ordered each accused to post $100,000 bail. While on bail, they must report to the Ruimveldt Police Station on the fourth Friday of every month pending the hearing and determination of their trial.
Failure to abide by the court’s orders would result in the revocation of their bail.
The case will be called again on February 7, 2024.
