Thirty-two-year-old Kevin McRae, a fisherman, on Friday appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for breaking and entering.
McRae pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that between December 8, 2019, and December 10, 2019, at Orange Walk, Bourda, Georgetown, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Hubert October and stole a number of articles valued at $647,000.
Remanded: Kevin McRae
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield informed the court that McRae and October are known to each other.
The prosecution is contending that the Virtual Complainant secured his property and went out on December 8.
However, upon return, October noticed that some of his household articles were missing. The court heard that on inquiry, the defendant was questioned by the VC about the missing articles. According to the prosecution’s case, McRae allegedly confessed to the offence and took the VC to the persons to whom he sold the items. However, after failed attempts to retrieve the articles, October reported the matter to the Police.
Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan remanded McRae to prison. The case will continue on December 27.
