A SECOND larceny defendant, who also appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson yesterday, was granted self-bail.
Evan Edwards, 58, of Lot 136 Crown Street, Queenstown, Georgetown, pleaded not guilty to simple larceny, denying that last March 1, he stole tractor wheel rims, valued $150,000 and seven shock absorbers worth $336,000, amongst  booty with a total value of $1M, property of Deokarran Sansei.
The defendant declared it is impossible for him to move those heavy things as he is suffering from kidney problems and liver disease.
Adding that he also has one bad toe, Edwards claimed the security guard at the business premises always calls him a thief and would make false allegations against him, to the Police.
But Police Inspector Stephen Telford, prosecuting, said the defendant was seen, by a security guard, jumping the virtual complainant’s fence.
The magistrate, releasing him on his own recognisance, warned Edwards that an arrest warrant would be issued for him, if he failed to make his next scheduled appearance on June 8.
