TWO men, charged with stealing cable, were each placed on $30,000 bail by Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry yesterday.
Mohamed Hamid, a 20-year-old mason of Lot 5 Fourth Street, Cummings Lodge, East Coast of Demerara and Marvin Daniels, 33, unemployed (no address given), both pleaded not guilty to the charge.Particulars of the offence said, on Sunday, February 9, at Kingston, Georgetown, they stole a length of cable, valued $20,500, property of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T).
Police Inspector Michael Grant, prosecuting, said the facts are as charged and he had no objection to them being granted pre-trial liberty.
Attorney-at-law, Mr. Paul Fung-a-Fat, representing the duo, requested that both be placed on their own recognisance and further suggested that they be admitted to the Skills and Knowledge for Youth Employment (SKYE) programme.
However, Daniels is over the required age for that scheme and the case was put off to February 17 for report.
