Three taxi drivers and a mechanic who were charged with stealing three vehicles were yesterday remanded to prison after the court heard that more charges for similar offences will soon be brought against them.

Justin DeSantos, 18; Joe Singh, 25; Kurt Shepard, 22, and Miguel Mattadin, 25, appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court One and denied the three charges after they were read to them.

The first charge stated that on October 12th, 2019 at ‘C’ Field, Turkeyen, while being together, the four men stole a motor car valued $700,000 from Dwayne Simon.
