Unrepresented trio granted bail on break & enter charge

PATRICK Dundas, 22; Leon McKenzie, 41; and Michael Chabrol, 34,(no addresses given) appeared before Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty yesterday, charged with breaking and entering the dwelling house of Hemdatt Kumar at Garden of Eden, East Bank Demerara between Wednesday, March 19, and Saturday, March 28, and stealing one Honda generator, two grass cutters, one chain saw, three water pumps, three fans, one CCTV system, two ornaments, one bracelet and two gold rings, among other articles together valued at $3,691,000.

Police Sergeant Tracy-May Gittens, prosecuting, said the VC is an overseas-based Guyanese who owns a one flat concrete structure at Second Dam, Garden of Eden, wherein he housed the articles mentioned in the charge.

On March 19, at around 14:00 hrs, the caretaker checked the VC’s premises and found everything intact; but on March 28, the caretaker returned and discovered the articles mentioned in the particulars were missing.

The prosecutor said Dundas and Chabrol were twice seen proceeding with others to the VC’s home, which they had burgled.

The unrepresented men denied the allegations and were each initially granted bail in the sum of $400,000, which was reduced to $350,000. The case was transferred to the Providence Magistrate’s Court for June 4.
