A 17-year-old boy who was allegedly found with two cell phones that are suspected to have been stolen was placed on bail in the sum of $15,000 when he appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Vicky Suffrein of Albouystown pleaded not guilty to the charge of unlawful possession.
It is alleged that on December 3, Suffrein was found with two cell phones believed to have been stolen or unlawfully obtained.
“I buy de two phones foh three thousand dollars from somebody,” Suffrein said. He stated that the phones were his and that the police arrested him at a cell phone store. “I ain’t do nothing and de police always locking me up but please your worship gimme a chance”.
The magistrate subsequently placed Suffrein on bail and transferred the case to Court Two for January 20.
yo see how the police like to arrest the youths??? Wam dem big men don’t give dem problems to??
sand;the police just don’t arrest the youths.. common sense tells you..the youth claimed he bought the 2 phones for $3000.00.you and i know…
YOU TELL ME WHICH YOUTH MAN CAN AFFORD TO HAVE TWO CELL PHONE AND PAY THE BILL IN AN HONEST WAY, COME SANDY YOU KNOW BETTER, THAT THIS IS A JOKE OF AN EXPLANATION.
yuh rite you rite. police always like arrest de youth. dats why from me lil boy days i always mek sure i was a big man… 200 plus lb now. “Big man you going B/ce now?”
Some phones are very cheap. It is possible for the child to maintain both of them. Teenagers save their money to pay the bill or pay for credit. They did not mention the brand of the phone. My son has two, one his dad gave him and one that I got for free when I bought my phone.
Sandy: I wonder WHY this youth said ‘de police always locking me up’? Mind you he said “Always”? Oh, de police mad to always pick he out. Or, is it that where there is smoke there is usually FIRE??!!
The heat burns more than fire itself.
He said always, cause who feels it knows it. Y couldn’t he bought these phones. Stop judgeing de people children!!!! Sand hurst I agree with u,100% .
Some of these comment wrighters, make me sick,quick to judge somthing as soon as they hear it . y don’t we wait and see!!. Ayo remember this rain na fall a wan man door step. Sand hurst, thanks for keeping it real.
G.T. warlord,,,chill, the (WRIGHTERS) sic… as you say are networking, they try to pick sense from nonsense, afterall not everyone is stupid.
If you get glass house don’t pelt stone. He said he buy it, he buy it . Did any body complain they things missing?
Correct is right bro…..You see the police are the ones who makes these innocent young men become criminals….The boy buy the fone and i believe him if the police had any sense they woulda check the records for the sim card but they suh stupid that they don’t care.
lemme tell yuh of a police in B/ce. he arrest a hirecar driver at Hampshire, but he can’t spell Hampshire. so he tell de man to drive to Nigg and stop in front de post office and he then re-arrest de man and look at the PO signboard to spell Nigg.
Why can’t someone buy two (2) cell phones for $3,000.00
I know two persons that sold their phones for $2,000.00 each and some people sell them cheaper.
That’s why it is now an offence for cell phone dealers to not keep proper records of every SIM card and cell phone sold
After the police completes their investigation then they could institute charges if necessary. Up until now its just suspicions from the police
Ricardo,,,,come on, common sense dictates that if you buy something like a cell phone, you buy it from a store, or a dealer, NOT from masugama Dave on the street, a bell needs to go off in somebody’s head,,,,I’M BUYING STOLEN MERCHENDISE,,,,AND I’LL GO TO JAIL. This is part of the (CCE) continued criminal enterprise, when you buy something on the streets, you create a demand for “possibly” stolen merchendise, which means that when an innocent person goes to work, some scum is in their house because there is a market out there for your hard earned stuff. I say, remove the index finger on this lil crumb snatcher, next time,,,remove the other.
De po youth man is innocent until proven guilty.2 cell pone for $3.000.00 is a bargin. Sandhust keep showing us de light.
Okay Lindenbanna hear this, the reason why both persons i know sold their phones for $2,000.00 each was because of financial difficulties. One was bought for $6,500 and the other $4,500.00 so it is possible for a person to purchase two phones for $3,000.00 and not necessarily buy stolen property.
Better to sell them cheap and keep your integrity
This problem, and problems like him needs to be rounded up and sent to an Island somewhere in Essequibo, deliver food and water and farm equipment once a month by boat and let them start their own country, and leave decent people alone.
i always thought you were a grown up with sense but you prove me wrong phones change everyday so if i have a phone and a new one comes out what will i do with the old one not sell it so i do believe he brought it but the police have nothing better to do. Why not look for the real crimnals but they can they will be looking at themselves so come stop stop stop judging other people kids
Talk out,,,, Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity…Martin Luther King JR. I do get my phones for free, and give the old ones to charity in the Caribbean, and I don’t think too many people go thru phones at the rate that I do,,,,, phones and cars.
I think you guys are jumping the gun here. people buy and sell their phones all the time in Guyana. Some of those phones digicel are selling worth 2000$ new and around 1500 used. The man could probably bought the phone,and yes,he could have stole it too.
de story so bare-bones. like SN lack space. no mention of if the shop owner call de police and point out the boy and sey “look he deh deh, look he deh deh. he tief the cellphone.” de police just appear mysteriously and arrest de boy. details details. SN.
I DONT THINK THAT THAT I WILL SPEND MORE THAN 500.00 FOR A PHONE. I THINK 3000.00 IS TOO MUCH FOR 2 PHONES THE KID SHOULD REALISE THAT OR MAYBE THOSE ARE THE NEW PHONES THAT CAME OUT THE OTHER DAY. ANYHOW IT TOO MUCH
My cousin have 4 cell phones and all he does it top it up!! he works nowhere and goes to school, he is not a thief nor is he a criminal….its this evidence to lock him away and throw away the keys??
SandHurst….Well,,,if he does not work, and he tops them off, let me guess….he rents them to criminals (sorry) I meant (Innocent School Children) . So that they can call home to their mommies on their lunch break. lol.
Then he probably does his homework and assignments projects on these phones.Or, as mention, he rents them out………??????????!!!!!!!!
Octo, you don’t sound like you’re from Guyana. $500.00 Guyana dollars can’t even buy 2 Banks beer.
Wait, wait wait. Yuh mean fuh sey if ah don’t know beer price in Guyana I is not a Guyanese? All Guyanese don’t drink that thing I does call sweetened wee-wee.
I’ll drink to that
