A woman was yesterday granted bail, after she told the court that the car she was accused of stealing was registered in her name, and claimed that the charges brought against her were an attempt by the original owner to repossess the car he pawned her.
The charges against Denise Adams, a 52-year-old mother of three, allege that she, on February 18, 2019, at Charlestown, stole one Toyota Premium motorcar valued $1 million from Conrad Dookhu, and on the same date and at the same location, she stole one gold band, valued $40,000 from Dookhu.
Adams pleaded not guilty to both charges and told the court that the car was registered in her name and the charges before the court are Dookhu’s attempt to make her pay the original purchase price of the car or gain repossession of the car. She explained that Dookhu had pawned the car to her.
With no objections by Prosecutor Seon Blackman, Adams was granted bail in the sum of $51,000 for both charges and the matter was adjourned until April 10, 2019.
