Accused car thieves granted bail

Two men who were remanded to prison last week after they denied stealing a car were yesterday granted bail by the Chief Magistrate when they made another appearance in court.

Marvin Samaroo, 45, of 10  Number 2 Village, Berbice and Christian Ganga, 24, of Phoenix Park, West Bank of Demerara had not been required to plead to the charge which alleged that they, on February 16 at Adelphi Village, stole motor vehicle PPP 3149 when it was read to them by Magistrate Ann McLennan.

The vehicle, property of Jonathan Ricknauth, is valued at $1.2M.

The men were also charged with fraudulently placing another licence plate on the vehicle between February 16 and February 18
