PETER Giddings, 20, was yesterday remanded to prison, by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, on a break and enter and larceny charge.

The defendant (no address given) pleaded not guilty, denying that, between December 3 and 31, 2009, he broke into the store owned by Roger Hinds and stole booty valued $3.6M.

Police Inspector Stephen Telford, prosecuting, successfully objected to bail Giddings and the case was transferred to another Court, for January 20.
