A 48-year-old porter, who was allegedly caught on camera breaking into a Duncan Street, Georgetown home and later leaving with two television sets, was on Friday remanded to prison.

Roger Bledman, of Norton Street, Wortmanville, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’s Court before Magistrate Rhondel Weever.

Bledman denied that on November 4, 2021, at Duncan Street, he broke into the dwelling house of Amernauth Dukhi, and stole one 65″ Samsung flat-screen television valued at $150,000, and one LG flat-screen television valued at $150,000.

According to the police facts, on November 4, 2021, Dukhi returned home and found his door pried open. Upon making checks, he discovered that two televisions were missing. A report was later made at the Prasad Nagar Police Outpost.

The police, after reviewing footage from the Intelligent Surveillance System command centre, saw Bledman arriving in a motorcar, which was driven by Sheldon Greene. Bledman went into the house, and later returned to the waiting motorcar with the two televisions in his hands.

Following his arrest, Greene reportedly told the police that he did not break into the home, but only provided transportation for Bledman. He was charged for his alleged role in the crime.

Bledman was later arrested, and was pointed out by Greene during a confrontation at the Alberttown Police Station.

The court prosecutor objected to Bledman being released on bail, since he was previously convicted for a similar crime, and has an outstanding sentencing warrant for his arrest.

The magistrate upheld the prosecutor’s objection, and remanded Bledman to prison until January 28, 2022.
