Linden man charged for stealing electronics

A resident of Wismar, Linden found himself before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday for stealing a long list of electronic items after he broke into the home of a fellow Lindener.
Lester Drakes, 20, of 161 Half Mile, Wismar, had the charge of break and enter read to him by Magistrate Judy Latchman.
The charge stated that between September 24 and September 25, 2017, at Lot 1675 Central Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Laurence Fidook and stole one Samsung cellphone, two iPhones, one Azami phone, one Lodging cell phone, one Bluetooth headset, one Smart watch, two laptops and one backpack, a total value of 3,000.
According to the facts of the matter, the joiner by profession, who had a similar matter before the court, was caught after one of the stolen phones was traced and found in his possession.
Prosecutor Shawn Gonsalves reported that the Virtual Complainant (VC) secured his premises, but the following morning, he noticed a window of his house was open.
An inspection revealed that the items mentioned in the charge were missing and following the discovery of the phone on the person of the defendant, he was arrested and charged with the crime.
The prosecution had no objections to bail being granted.
Drakes was granted bail in the sum of 0,000. The defendant is scheduled to make his next court appearance on October 20, 2017.
