‘Known character’ on bail for stealing cash, television, and other items
Brentnol Charles, who is no stranger to the Courts, is back again to answer two charges of simple larceny.
Charles, a 40-year-old father of three of Lot 9 D’Urban and Camp Streets, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was hauled before Magistrate Annette Singh in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where the charges were read to him.
The first charge stated that on August 1, 2024, at New Market Street, Georgetown, Charles stole one television, valued at $100,000, two amplifiers pegged at $300,000, speaker boxes to the tune of $48,000 and $10,000 in cash – all belonging to Sadiq Wahab.
The second charge alleged that on August 14, 2024, at Brickdam, Georgetown, the father of three broke into the car of Dukesh Dudnauth and carted off with $2.2 million in cash.
The defendant denied the offences when they were read to him. His attorney, Yuborn Allicock, submitted a bail application, arguing that his client was innocent of the charges.
He noted, too, that Charles was prepared to subject himself to any conditions the court deemed fit.
However, the prosecution vehemently objected to bail, noting that the father of three had been before the court for several offences and had been found guilty of one.
However, during the proceedings, Charles denied ever being convicted. Furthermore, the Magistrate requested to view the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) footage the prosecution had claimed they had of Charles committing the offences.
The prosecutor was unable to provide the footage and requested to submit it at a later date.
In light of the preceding, Magistrate Singh granted Charles $500,000 bail on both charges and ordered him to report to the Alberttown Police Station. The case is set to come up again on September 13, 2024, for disclosure of the CCTV footage.
Over the years, Charles would have been charged with a plethora of offences, including stealing a firearm and uttering a forged document to a police officer.
