PRESTON Skeete, a 19-year-old mason of 1103 Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden; together with 29-year-old Lennox Estwick of Lot 636 Central Amelia’s Ward and porter Jermain Michell of Lot 1640 Central Amelia’s Ward, appeared yesterday before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan, charged with break-and-enter and larceny.Particulars of the charge alleged that on November 06 at Lot 1572 Central Amelia’s Ward, they stole a quantity of Cheryl Whims’ electrical and personal items to the value of $436,000.

The trio denied the charge.

Skeete was also charged with being in possession of stolen articles at his home on November 09, a charge which he denied as well.

Police Prosecutor, Corporal Deniro Jones, did not relate facts of the charge to the court, but explained that all the items were recovered at Skeete’s residence. He also did not object to the trio being granted pre-trail liberty.

Each accused was therefore ordered to post $100,000 bail on each charge, and the matter was transferred before the Linden magistrate for November 25.

In April last, Skeete was released on $300,000 bail by City Magistrate Fabayo Azore on a charge of larceny of a minibus and car in Linden.
