Alleged rum thieves remanded

January 4, 2016 By GuyanaTimes

Three juveniles have been remanded for breaking and entering a New Amsterdam home and stealing a quantity of foreign liquor.

The trio of Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, along with an adult are accused of breaking into the home Devon Campbell of Lot 47 Stanleytown, NA, between December 26 and 27 and stealing three bottles of rum, one pair of slippers, and one bottle perfume all being the property of Campbell and all totalling $213,000.

The juveniles along with Jim Shultz, 29, of Lot 46 Stanleytown, were refused bail when they appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court.

According to Police Persecutor Phillip Sherriff, the teenagers and Campbell are related. On the day in question after Campbell secured his home and went out, they broke in, stole the articles, and then sold them.

Shultz, the court was told, did not break into the house but was approached by the youths who gave him one of the rums to sell.

Shultz told the court he sold the rum and handed the money over to the teenagers.

According to Sherriff, all four are also suspects in two other break-in matters which the police are investigating.

He requested that they be remanded pending the investigation into the other matters.

They were all remanded to prison.

The case will continue on January 18
