Mason recently released from jail remanded for home break-in

Dequan Parris, a 19-year-old mason of Middle Road, La Penitence, Georgetown, has been remanded to prison for the offence of break and enter and larceny, allegedly committed on the home of Adrian Walker on July 19.
The young man was arraigned in Senior Magistrate Leron Daly’s court at the Georgetown Magistrates Courts on Friday, and was not required to plead to the indictable charge, particulars of which stated that on July 19, while in the company of others, he broke into the home of Adrian Walker and stole a laptop, two mobile phones, a PlayStation, and other items to the total value of $440,000.
The court was told that, on the day in question, Parris and other persons broke into Walker’s home at Laing Avenue, Georgetown and stole the items mentioned in the charge. Walker was at work at the time, but upon returning home, he discovered his home ransacked and noticed that the aforementioned items were missing. As such, he reported the matter to the Ruimveldt Police Station.
Police Prosecutor Christopher Morris has said that one of the victim’s phones was found on Parris’s uncle. The man told Police that he purchased the device from his nephew, and was not aware that it had been stolen.
The prosecutor said that Parris, under caution, admitted to committing the crime, and also identified his accomplices.

The prosecutor has objected to the accused being granted bail on the ground that he was recently released from prison, after serving a one-year sentence for a similar offence.
Magistrate Daly has remanded Parris to prison until September 1. (G1)
