Teen freed of larceny charge

A case brought against 18-year-old Michael Sulkar was dismissed on Monday after the virtual complainant in the matter refused to provide evidence against him when the case was called at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The teenager pleaded not guilty to a charge alleging that on October 8, 2018, at Durban Park, Georgetown, he stole from Quincy Calvin one Samsung cellular phone worth $120,000.
Calvin, in a statement, told Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman that he did not wish to provide evidence against the defendant, since he is a friend; he was satisfied to have recovered his phone.
As a result, the Magistrate dismissed the charge against Sulkar.
