A Stabroek Market vendor who reportedly knowingly bought a number of stolen items found himself before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday.
Kelston Adams, 38, of 738 Lot “Y” Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown, however denied the charge read to him by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
The charge stated that on December 6 and 13, 2017, at Stabroek Market, Georgetown he received three motor vehicle batteries, three pressed volume amplifiers and one 3300-volt generator with a total valued of $1.4 million; property of Leonard Sutchingyong, knowing that the items were illegally obtained.
Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore revealed that all of the items were found in Adams’ home. He however had no objections to bail being granted.
As such, Magistrate McLennan released the vendor on $70,000 bail. The case will continue on January 3, 2018.
