A 20-year-old man accused of kidnapping a 60-year-old woman from her Fort George Heights, St Michael home last month, was granted bail this afternoon.
Teriq Kaareem Linton, of No. 2 Cavewood Road, Tichbourne, St Michael, was not required to plead to entering the house of Radha Rabilall as a trespasser to commit an arrestable offence to wit: theft and had at the time a firearm on January 31.
He was also not required to plead to robbing Rabilall of a $2 400 cell phone, two ATM cards worth $50 and $1 000 in money on the same date.
He was further accused of removing Rabilall from her home, without her consent, or someone who was legally authorised to do so, also on January 31.
Prosecutor Station Sergeant Cameron Gibbons objected to bail in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court. However attorney Kristin Turton, who represented the man made a stirring argument. Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant granted the lighting technician $20 000 with two sureties, ordered him to surrender his passport and report to the Oistins Police Station every Tuesday and Wednesday before 3 p.m.
He returns to Criminal Court No. 1 on October 9. (RA)
