A 16-year-old boy who allegedly stole a bicycle was remanded to prison, pending the appearance of a guardian or parent, when he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
The teen pleaded not guilty to the charge of simple larceny when it was read to him by Principal Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle.
It is alleged that on June 22 the accused stole a bicycle belonging to Sidney Persaud.
According to the teen he did not steal the bicycle. The owner, he said, “claimed” to have seen him picking the lock but the bicycle was never once removed from its location.
The matter continues on July 1 and he is to remain in police custody.
