No bail for miner accused of breaking into Albouystown store

When he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Friday, a miner of Hogg Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, who is charged with breaking into Shabana & Sons Liquor Mart & General Store and stealing cash and items worth over $5 million, was remanded to prison.
Akeem Marshall, a 28-year-old father of one, was charged with three counts of break and enter and larceny when he appeared before Magistrate Rhondell Weever.
He is accused of breaking into the business place between August 18 and 19 in Albouystown, Georgetown, stealing $4,765,000 in cash, $1 million worth of GTT and Digicel phone cards, an Xbox worth $60,000, and two cell phones worth $40,000 in total.
Marshall pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and was not assisted by a counsel. Marshall’s release on bail was opposed by the Police prosecutor due to the seriousness of the crime and the amount of money involved. The Magistrate upheld these objections.
The defendant was ultimately remanded until November 10. Marshall has previously been accused of armed robbery. According to sources, the accusations against him were dropped because the Police did not hold a proper identification parade.
