Michael Boodhoo appeared on Monday before Magistrate Judy Latchman on a simple larceny charge.

It was alleged that on December 23, 2016 at Avenue of the Republic, Georgetown, Boodhoo stole two boxes containing a quantity of food items and beverages valued at $500,000, the property of Lisa McDonald.

The 58-year-old man who resides at Covent Garden pleaded not guilty to the charge.
According to facts that were given in court by the police prosecutor, on December 23, 2016 the defendant who was operating a taxi was hired by the virtual complainant (VC). The woman had bought food items and beverages. One of her friends she was with wanted to use the washroom so she went along, but when she returned the defendant had left and never returned.

However, recently the virtual complainant spotted the man. She made a report and the police arrested him.
The magistrate granted Boodhoo bail in the sum of $106,000 and adjourned the matter to May 14, 2018.
