ACCUSED ‘trunker’ (one who steals from unattended motor vehicles) Anthony Williams, 19, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.

The defendant, 19, of Lot 1979 Festival City, North Ruimveldt, pleaded not guilty to stealing $9,603, on June 2, from inside PEE 1045, belonging to Akintonda Cave.

Police Inspector Denise Griffith, prosecuting, said the vehicle was parked when Williams broke into it.

He was granted $20,000 bail until August 6.

Another defendant, Joseph Weekes called ‘Dougla’, who faced a fraudulent conversion charge in the same Court, suffered a different fate.

After he denied the allegation, he was remanded to prison until July 21.

Particulars of his offence said, last July 4, in East Street, another part of Georgetown, being solely entrusted, by Shanti Narine, with a $20,000 push cart, he fraudulently converted it to his own use.

Weekes, 40, claimed someone else removed the cart from where he had left it.

However, Prosecutor Griffith said Narine had asked the defendant (no address given) to park the cart when he disappeared and later identified the man to whom he sold it.
