MAGISTRATE Faith McGusty, on Wednesday, December 18, 2019, remanded an 18-year-old mason to prison, on a larceny charge.

Isaac Caesar of South Ruimveldt Park appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge, when it was read to him.

Particulars of the charge stated that, on December 15, 2019, at Water Street, Georgetown, he stole a shoulder bag valued at $15,000, a phone valued at $60,000 and $1000 cash, property of Rohee Diadeen.

Police prosecutor Seon Blackman objected to bail being granted to Caesar and told the court that, on the day in question, Diadeen and her sister were heading to the route 42 bus park when Caesar approached them and snatched Diadeen’s bag and attempted to run away.

Blackman added that Diadeen raised an alarm and Caesar ran into six police in plain clothes and was arrested and later charged.

Magistrate McGusty remanded Caesar to prison and adjourned the matter until January 8, 2020.
