Watchman, Mahendranauth Narine called Boyee, who allegedly stole $8,000,000 from the home of Imam (Muslim religious leader) Mohammed Haniff, was ordered to post $250,000 bail by Senior Magistrate Alex Moore at the New Amsterdam Court on Monday.

Narine, aged 48 years of Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, was hired by the religious leader to guard his home at Vryman’s Erven, New Amsterdam, during the recently concluded Ramadan.

On June 11 last, at 01:00hrs, Mohammed Haniff, accompanied by his wife, secured their property before releasing their security dogs and leaving Narine behind to guard their property.

However, on their return at 05:00hrs, the guard told them that there were intruders who tied him up before entering the building.
Haniff made checks and discovered a door to the garage and other doors were opened and the house was ransacked.

Further, he discovered that the sum of $8,000,000 which was received as donations on behalf of the New Amsterdam Masjid were missing.

A report was made at Central Police Station, followed by subsequent charges.
Narine, who posted his bail, is expected to return to court on July 19.
