JASON Prince, 21, of Lot 70 Bent Street, Georgetown, was granted $40,000 bail, by Magistrate Ann McLennan, yesterday, on a larceny charge.

He pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which accused him of stealing two cellular phones and cash, making a total of $32,000, from his grandmother, Jeanette Prince.
Police Corporal Dinero Jones, prosecuting, told the Court that the defendant’s theft from the woman is a recurring issue and, on several occasions, he was warned.
The virtual complainant, who was in the courtroom, said she did not recover the money but the cell phones were retrieved in her bedroom.
The prosecutor objected to bail on the ground that Prince may tamper with the witness, since they live in the same home.
However, the objection was overruled and the case was postponed to January 17.
