DeSouza and Huntley pleaded not guilty to the charge, which was read to them in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court by Magistrate Faith McGusty.

Less than a week ago, two other men were charged for the same offence. DeSouza and Huntley are suspected accomplices in the crime.

Police Prosecutor Ceon Blackman, objected to

bail because of the value of the articles and because the two defendants were

on the run. DeSouza and Huntley were remanded to jail until February 13, 2019.
