A MECHANIC appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday, charged with fraudulent conversion and threatening behaviour. The indictable charge said Colin Blackett, of Lot 568 Toucan Drive, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, is alleged to have, between June 1 and December 31, 2011, being the bailee of motor car PHH 942, equipped with one tape deck valued $35,000 and one amplifier priced at $55,000, fraudulently converted the property of Nicosia Holland to his own use and benefit.
He pleaded not guilty to the other charge, which stated that, on June 12, 2011, he made use of threatening behaviour to Carwyn Holland, causing a breach of the peace.
Police Corporal Simone Payne, prosecuting, had no objection to bail and the accused was placed on $70,000 bail in both cases, until June 11.
