Man on $200,000 bail for robbery

Forty-year-old Deon Griffith of 430 North East La Penitence, Georgetown was on Tuesday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan to answer a charge of robbery.

He denied the allegation which stated that on July 3, 2016, at Kitty, Georgetown, he stole airplane parts worth $16.6 million; the property of Trisha Persaud.

The prosecution objected to bail based on the magnitude of the offence and the fact that the case file is complete, which means they are not ready to proceed to trial.

Objection was also made due to the fact that the items are yet to be recovered.

However, as there were no antecedents, the defendant was granted $200,000 bail.

He was also ordered to lodge his passport with the Police and to report to the East La Penitence Police Station. Failure to comply will result in his arrest and he will be placed on remand.

Griffith will return to court on February 19.
