CHIEF Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday placed five men on $25,000 bail each after they appeared before her jointly charged with attempting to break into the building housing an insurance company.

Steve Singh, 23, of Yarrow Dam, East Ruimveldt; Leonard Allicock, 53, of James Street, Albouystown; Trevor James, 38, of Durban Street, Lodge; Clinton Kissoon, 47, of William Street, Kitty; and 34-year-old handyman Torrel Timmerman of Albouystown all denied the charge when it was read to them.

Particulars of the charge allege that on March 20, at Brickdam, the five men attempted to break into the MP Insurance and Brokerage Company.
Police Prosecutor, Inspector Neville Jeffers, made no objection to bail since nothing from the firm was missing, therefore bail was granted and the men were ordered to return to court on April 14.
