TWO men charged with carting off over $4.4M in articles through breaking and entering and larceny, on Friday were remanded to prison by Magistrate Fabayo Azore.
Rawl Hinds, a 31-year-old mason of Lot 94, North Sophia, and Collin Kendall, a 26-year-old labourer of Pike Street, Squatting area, Greater Georgetown, both pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to them.
Particulars of the charge said between October 3 and 4 at Georgetown, the two men broke and entered the bond of Jiangxi Thermal Power Construction Corporation and stole one level lock, one Universal instrument, three freezers, one jack hammer, one welding machine and other articles together valued at $4,427,000.
Police prosecutor Simone Payne did not reveal the prosecution’s facts, but opposed bail on the grounds of the seriousness and prevalence of the offence.
She informed the court that Hinds had recently been released from prison and some of the articles mentioned in the charge were recovered including two freezers, one jack hammer and one Universal instrument.
Payne added that the prosecution’s file is incomplete, since investigations are still in progress.
However, the police prosecutor’s objection was upheld and bail was denied for the unrepresented duo. They were remanded until October 31.
