South Ruimveldt resident remanded on B&E charge

Principle Magistrate Faith McGusty remanded a 29-year-old South Ruimveldt resident when he appeared before her at a city Magistrates’ Courts and pleaded not guilty to charges of breaking and entering and larceny.
Akeem Prince stood before Magistrate McGusty and denied that between June 1 and June 25, 2019, at South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he broke and entered the dwelling place of Romario Prince and stole a number of items which amounted to a total cost of $2.3 million.
Prosecutor Seon Blackman informed the Court that the defendant is known to the Virtual Complainant since they are cousins. The Court further heard that on the day in question, neighbours observed Prince, who was already in the house.
The neighbours, having noticed that he was removing household items, informed the Police, who arrived at the scene and managed to apprehend him.
Objections were made to bail being granted on the grounds that the defendant was caught committing the act and that the stolen items were of high value.
As a result, Magistrate McGusty remanded Prince to prison and adjourned his case to July 19.
