MAGISTRATE Leron Daly, on Friday October 11, 2019, remanded to prison, a man who was charged with ‘break and enter and larceny’.

Christian Webster appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the three charges when they were read to him.

Particulars of charges stated that, on September 10, 2019, at South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Jasmine Harris and stole a laptop valued at $354,000, the property of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company; a phone valued at $114,000; a gold and diamond ring valued at $222,000, the property of Ryan Smith and four finger rings valued at $442,000, property of Jasmine Harris.

Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail being granted to Webster and told the court that Harris secured her home and went to bed around 21:00 hours and, around 02:52 hours, she was awakened by a loud noise, and, upon checking, she observed Webster standing in her bedroom.

Harris raised an alarm and Webster jumped through the window and made good his escape. The couple then made checks around their home and they discovered the items were missing. The matter was reported, an investigation was conducted and Webster was arrested and charged.

Singh also told the court that Webster had 10 other break and enter and larceny charges, and 10 burglary charges, and he was under investigation for a murder.

Magistrate Daly, after listening to the prosecutor, remanded Webster to prison and adjourned the matter until November 8, 2019.
