GREGORY Howes, 38, of Lot 524 East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, Georgetown was granted $50,000 bail yesterday, on a larceny from the person charge.
He appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson and pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, on May 25, he stole a $64,000 gold chain from Walter Daniels.
Police Inspector Stephen Telford, prosecuting, had objected to the grant and informed the Court that the defendant is not a first offender.
However, the objection was overruled and the case was transferred to another Court, for July 14.
Defence Counsel Adrian Thompson, who succeeded with his application for the pre-trial freedom, claimed no identification parade was conducted and that the Police assaulted Howes
