Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones told Magistrate Ann McLennan the jewellery was not recovered and objected to bail based on the nature and gravity of the charge and the penalty it attracts. Bail was denied and the case was adjourned until January 6, when it will be called at Georgetown Magistrates’ Court 5.
