A 32-YEAR-OLD vagrant was Tuesday remanded to prison by City Magistrate Leron Daly for breaking into a Bourda market stall and carting off several items.

Mark Angus is accused of breaking into the stall of Nadia Persaud between January 15 and 16 at Bourda Market and stealing a quantity of cheese, ketchup, milo and other items totaling $862,880.

Angus denied the charge and explained to the court that he was asked to collect a bag from someone and did not know what was inside.

However, according to police prosecutor Inspector Kevin London, the defendant was arrested with the Milo in his possession.

Magistrate Daly remanded Angus on the grounds that he poses a flight risk since he has no fixed place of abode. Angus was refused bail and will return to court on February 10.
