Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson gave the order after Hinds (no address given) handed over, in Court, some of the jewels mentioned in the charge.

It is alleged that he, on September 22, broke and entered the dwelling house of Esther Griffith and stole one digital camera worth $100,000 and jewellery and booty valued a total $204,000.

Police Sergeant Kevin London, prosecuting, said the camera was recovered in the defendant’s possession and the virtual complainant said, if she is repaid, she will not proceed with the case.

However, the magistrate made no pronouncement on the proposal.

Defence Counsel Vic Puran said Hinds recently left school but has not secured a job and travelled to Georgetown, from Berbice, to vacation with relatives.

The teen’s mother, who was also present, lamented that she had tasked her son to weed their yard in Berbice but he arrived in the city unknown to her.
