A man accused of stealing a chainsaw, among other items, was remanded to prison when he appeared before a city court yesterday.
Glenroy Browne, 43, was not required to plead when the charge was read to him by Magistrate Ann McLennan.
According to Prosecutor Deniro Jones, Browne, between January 3 and January 4, stole a chainsaw, a cellular phone and a torchlight, valued $241,174 in total. The stolen items were the property of John Marshall.
As he was escorted out of the courtroom, Browne exclaimed that he was being wrongfully accused and that Marshall, despite knowing that he was innocent, was still continuing with the matter.
Browne is set to return to court on January 20.
