SECURITY guard Rudolph Mangal (no address given), who is accused of stealing a quantity of milk powder was remanded to prison yesterday by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. 

He pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, between May 25 and 26, at Industrial Site, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he broke and entered the bond of Subramani Ramdhani and stole 120 bags of Grandmelo milk powder valued $3.6M.
Police Corporal Bharat Mangru, prosecuting, said the defendant was employed by the virtual complainant as a security guard, and that he placed a plastic bag over the surveillance camera but it fell off and he was seen inviting his sons to raid the bond.
The Prosecutor successfully objected to the grant of pretrial liberty for the defendant, on the grounds that investigations are ongoing and Mangal is likely to face more charges.
He has to be back in Court on June 6.
