Teen charged for attempting to commit a felony

A Kitty, Georgetown blockmaker was on Monday released on bail after he denied a charge of attempting to steal from a woman.
Nineteen-year-old Isaac Caesar appeared before Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus where the charge read to him stated that on February 26, at Brickdam, Georgetown, while in the company of others, he attempted to commit a felony – that is larceny from a person – on Pavita Bacchus.
It was further alleged that Caesar attempted to relive the Virtual Complainant of one Samsung Galaxy phone valued at $124,500 along with a purse valued at $10,000 and $9000.
The unrepresented teen pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of $50,000.
The Police prosecutor informed the court that the teen approached Bacchus and attempted to relieve her of her articles. However, Bacchus held on to the articles and put up a fight.
As such, public-spirited persons who witnessed the ordeal managed to apprehend Caesar when he was making his escape.
He further explained that during the attempted theft, the Virtual Complainant said that she had a good look at the suspect’s face since he was not wearing a mask at the time of the incident.
Further, the prosecutor said that the teen confessed to the offence while in Police custody.
As such, Magistrate Isaacs ordered that Caesar seek counselling from the probation officer who was present at the time in court. The case will continue on April 19.
The matter has been adjourned to April 19, 2021. (G15)
