Miner remanded for attempting to burglarise Mahdia Post Office

A miner was remanded to prison on Friday by Magistrate Faith McGusty when he appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday for attempting to break into the Mahdia Post Office, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).

Fifty-two-year-old Linden Flavius of Pepper Hill, 111 Miles, Mahdia, pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on January 30, 2020, at 111 Miles, Mahdia, Essequibo Magisterial District, he attempted to break and enter the Mahdia Post Office and Living Quarters with the intention of committing a felony.
Police Prosecutor Delon Sullivan objected to bail being granted to the defendant, citing the prevalence of the offence in society.
The prosecutor also told the court that the suspect was apprehended at the location in question.
The Magistrate, after listening to both sides, remanded Flavius to prison until February 3, 2020, when he will appear before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
