TWENTY-nine-year-old miner Jermaine Anderson of Linden was yesterday remanded to prison by City Magistrate Ann McLennan on a charge of breaking into the store of Ronella Parris at Christiansburg, Linden, to which he pleaded not guilty.Particulars of the charge detail that between July 6 and 7, Anderson broke into Parris’s store and stole two cases each of Banks beer and Guinness, a quantity of soft drinks and a bucket of cooking oil, all to the total value of $30,000.
Police Prosecutor Sargent Neville Jeffers did not relate the facts to the court, but objected to bail being granted Anderson on basis of the seriousness and prevalence of the offence, and penalty attached to the charge.
Anderson was refused bail, and the matter was transferred before the Linden Magistrate for a July 22 calling.
