MAGISTRATE Faith McGusty, on Wednesday December 18, 2019, remanded a 49-year-old man to prison, on a break and enter charge.
Cecil Forde called ‘Abo’ appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge.

It is alleged that, on December 8, 2019, at Avocado Place, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Sonia Aaron and stole two gas cylinders valued at $50,000, twelve zinc sheets valued at $12,000 and a quantity of clothing valued at $80,000.

Police Prosecutor Seon Blackman objected to bail being granted to Forde and told the court that, on the day in question, Aaron secured her house and went to bed. She was awakened by a noise and, upon checking, she saw Forde in her yard with the items.
Blackman added that since the place was bright Aaron could have seen Forde. She raised an alarm and Forde threw some of the stuff over the fence and made good his escape, with the other items.

The matter was reported to the police, an investigation was launched and Forde was arrested and later charged.

Magistrate McGusty, after listening to the Prosecutor, remanded Forde to prison. The matter was adjourned until January 15, 2020.
