A MINER was Monday remanded to prison by Principal Magestrate Judy Latchman on a simple larceny charge.

It is alleged that on May 8, 2018 at Georgetown, Peter Waldron stole one gold chain worth $71,000, property of Deon Persaud.

The 28-year-old man pleaded not guilty to the charge.
According to the evidence presented in court by the police prosecutor, the virtual complainant was waiting for transportation when the defendant snatched the chain. An alarm was raised and Waldron was positively identified and held.
Bail was refused by the magistrate and Waldron was remanded to prison until June 11th, 2018.
