Roy Alves of Sparendaam, East Coast Demerara was on Friday arraigned before Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly on two charges of simple larceny. 
The first charge alleged that, on January 24, he stole one green handbag containing keys and an undisclosed sum of Guyanese currency, property of Ms Chester (only name given). The second charge stated that on February 1 he stole one pedal cycle, property of James Davidson.
Alves admitted to the first charge and was fined $60,000 with an alternative of six months’ imprisonment.
He, however, denied the second charge and was remanded to prison. The case will continue on March 13.
