TWO men were, on Monday, remanded to prison for allegedly breaking and entering the business place of Videndand Ramotar and stealing over $1M worth of car supplies and cash.

They appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus
Particulars of the charge stated that Leon Browne, a 38-year-old mason of 207 Charlotte Street, Georgetown, and Trevon Alleyne, 20-year-old of 103 Regent Road Bourda, between April 26, 2019 and April 27, 2019, at 104 Regent Road Bourda, stole eight batteries valued $200,000, 12 seat covers worth $192,000, 10 pairs of wipers valued $20,000, two seat covers valued $192,000, five buckets of oil worth $110,000, 60 AC filters worth $108,000, 86 coolants valued $21,000, 4 alarms worth $85,000 and $500,000 worth in cash. Browne pleaded not guilty while Alleyne pleaded guilty.

The prosecution is contending that at about 17:00 hrs on April 26, 2019, Ramotar secured his business place. The following day, police, acted on information and went to the said location where they apprehended the duo with the said articles in their possession. They were subsequently told of the offence and arrested.

However, Browne told the Magistrate that he was not involved. He further stated that he woke up the morning with four policemen over him telling him that he committed an act he knew nothing about. The policemen then went to the upper flat of the house which he shared with eight other occupants and brought down a battery.

After listening to the submissions made in court the Magistrate remanded the duo to prison until their next court appearance on May 2, 2019.
