‘Mickey Mouse police investigation’ led to charges, accused tells court

Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson granted $80,000 bail to a Subryanville man after he denied allegations of break and enter and larceny when he on Thursday appeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

“I speechless at the Mickey Mouse police investigation,” Jacob Arthur told the court, after the magistrate asked him if he had any comment to make regarding the charges.

Archer, 50, of 29 ‘A’ Third Avenue, Subryanville denied that on May 13 he broke into the storeroom of David Van Que, and stole one weeding machine valued $98,000.

Police Prosecutor Stephen Telford told the court that on the said day Van Que had secured his storeroom and left the area, however; on his return he noticed that the machine was missing.

Around 2 pm, Archer was allegedly seen removing a weeding machine from an empty lot which is next to Van Que’s yard.

Investigations were carried out and he was later arrested and charged.

The magistrate ordered Archer to appear in Court 10 on July 1.
