A man who allegedly instructed a child to steal a cellphone was on Wednesday charged with theft after the child told police what occurred.
Dwayne Barker, 24, a carpenter of Lot 171 Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was arraigned at the George-town Magistrates’ Courts, where Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan read the charge to him.
He denied that on December 10, at Laing Avenue, he stole a cellphone, valued $67,000, and which was the property of Ryan McCovey.
