–says it was one ‘Carl’ who did

A 20-year-old mechanic was on Monday charged and released on $150,000 bail by Magistrate Judy Latchman, for stealing a motorbike.
Mohammed Edun denied that between August 6, 2017 and August 7, 2017 at La Penitence Public Road, he stole a motorbike valued $185,000, the property of Samuel Scotland.

Edun’s attorney, Paul Fung-a-Fat told the court that on the contrary, his client did not steal the bike, and that neither did know that it was stolen; that rather it was someone called “Carl” who had taken it to his client to be repaired.

However, according to the facts as read in court by Prosecutor Shawn Gonzales, the victim saw the defendant riding around on his stolen cycle and called the police.
Gonzales further told the court that when Edun was arrested, he confessed to the police that he’d bought the stolen cycle and was fixing it.

He, however, did not object to Edun being granted bail, and as such the matter has been adjourned to December 4.
