CHIEF Magistrate Ann McLennan, on Friday, December 20, 2019, remanded a 32-year-old fisherman to prison, on a break and enter and larceny charge.

Kevin McRae of Hadfield Street, Georgetown, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge, when it was read to him.
Particulars of the charge stated that, between December 8, 2019 and December 10, 2019, at Orange Walk, Lacytown, he broke and entered the dwelling house of Hubert October and stole a quantity of items valued at $647,000.

The court heard that McRae and October were known to each other.
Police prosecutor Gordon Mansfield told the court that, on December 8, October secured his house and went to another location. On December 10, 2019, he received a phone call and he returned home. When he arrived, he observed his house was broken and the items were missing.

Mansfield added that October then made contact with McRae. McRae then took him to the persons he sold the items to. The matter was reported to the police and McRae was arrested and told of the allegation to which he admitted.

Magistrate McLennan, after listening to the prosecutor, remanded McRae to prison. The matter was adjourned until December 27, 2019.
