LEONARD Lynch nicknamed ‘Tall Man’, of Manchester, Corentyne, has been ordered to post $40,000 bail on break and enter and larceny charge.

It happened when the defendant, 41, appeared before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo at New Amsterdam Court, also in Berbice, yesterday and pleaded not guilty.

The allegation against him is that he broke into the dwelling house of his employer, Grantley Montooth, from where he stole a 20-pound cylinder of cooking gas and a pair of shoes, with a total value of $19,000.

The defendant is employed as a conductor on a bus owned by the virtual complainant and the burglary allegedly took place last December 24, when Montooth was away from his home.
The case will be called, again, on January 29.
