Two 18-year-old labourers granted bail in separate larceny charges

Two 18-year-old labourers appeared in separate Georgetown and East Coast Demerara courts on Monday, facing charges related to theft in unrelated incidents.
In the first matter, Jedia Singh, of Lot 54 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was placed on $150,000 bail after being charged with larceny. Singh appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded not guilty to the allegation that on May 13, 2025, at Water Lily Street, West Ruimveldt, he stole a gold chain valued at $1.8 million from Rehanna Agard.
Singh was represented by Attorney-at-law Adrian Thompson, who told the court that his client maintains his innocence. The prosecution did not oppose bail but requested that Singh report regularly to the police.

Magistrate Azore granted bail on the condition that Singh reports to the Ruimveldt Police Station on the last Monday of each month. The matter was adjourned to June 16, 2025.
Meanwhile, in a separate case on the East Coast of Demerara, Tahid Jacobs, of Lot 42 Ross Street, Nabaclis Village, was charged with Break and Enter and Larceny. Jacobs was arrested on May 16, 2025, in connection with a break-in at the Golden Grove North home of Jeremy Ramsdam.
Jacobs appeared before Her Worship, O. Schmidt at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court, where he also entered a not guilty plea. He was placed on self-bail, and the matter was adjourned to June 30, 2025.
Both matters remain under investigation as the accused await trial dates.
