A MAN, who was accused of attempting to steal cement and construction tools from a locked vehicle, was, on Friday, released on $50,000 bail by Magistrate Leron Daly, when he made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

James David denied that he, on May 18, 2021, at Howes Street, Charlestown, Georgetown, attempted to steal one power saw valued at $70,000, one STIHL chainsaw valued at $45,000 and 10 sacks of cement valued at $35,000 from Randolph Corbin.

According to the prosecution, David and Corbin are not known to each other. It is alleged that on the day in question, about 20:30 hours, Corbin parked and secured his bus which contained the items mentioned in the charge, on his bridge. At about 23:16 hours, he looked through the window of his house and saw David trying to gain access to the vehicle. He immediately contacted the police and David was arrested and charged.

The matter was adjourned until June 25, 2021.
