MAGISTRATE Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus, on Monday, February 10, 2020, remanded a 29-year-old taxi driver accused of larceny.
Seon Haywood, of Crane Housing Scheme, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge, when it was read to him.

It is alleged that, on February 9, 2020, at Water Street, Georgetown, he stole two gold chains valued at $70,000, from the person of Celene Teekaram.
Police prosecutor objected to bail being granted to Haywood and told the court that, on the day in question, Teekaram was walking along Water Street and Haywood was walking behind her.

The court heard that Haywood snatched Teekaram’s chains from her neck and tried to escape. Teekaram raised an alarm and police on patrol gave chase. Haywood was apprehended. A search was conducted on him and the articles were found.
Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus, after listening to the prosecutor, remanded Haywood to prison and adjourned the matter until February 17, 2020.
