POPULAR welder and fabricator, Yogpaul Ramnawa of Bengal Farm, Corentyne was ordered to post $75,000 bail after he tearfully denied a charge of simple larceny before New Amsterdam Magistrate, Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.His counsel, Adrian Anamayah, said Ramnawa had fabricated a grain cart valued $1.8M for the Canadian-based Ms Ashni Singh, but there is a dispute in the payment, which may have to be addressed at the Civil Court.
Court documents record Ms Singh as saying that she possesses receipts indicating that she paid for the cart although Ramnawa claims he is still owed $1M.
Police Sergeant Phillip Sherrif, prosecuting, said the defendant, Ramnawa, stole the grain cart from a residence in Vryheid village in August.
The matter is fixed for hearing on November 15.
