Two out of three men who appeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday were charged with simple larceny and damage to property and remanded to prison while the third was granted bail on the charge of receiving stolen items.

Twenty-three-year-old Shemar Davis, a mason, 31-year-old Leon Williams, a taxi driver and Kester Joseph, 39, a businessman, all made their appearances before Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus who read their respective charges to them. The charges brought against Davis and Williams alleged that on March 16th at Sheriff Street, while in the company of another, they stole a Samsung Pro Notebook valued at $120,000, a wallet worth $10,000, an ID card and a Republic Bank card, property of Udon Sandiford. That matter was laid indictably and the duo was not required to enter a plea. They were also charged with damaging a Toyota motorcar mirror worth $45,000 property of the said Sandiford. This charge was however laid summarily and the duo pleaded not guilty.
