Bridgetown.
Eight young men from the parish of St Thomas were remanded to HMP Dodds when they appeared in the Bridgetown Traffic Court yesterday, charged with the theft of copper and cable from several businesses in St Thomas and St Michael.
Rico Leacock, 23, Adeka Jordan, 17, Vasco Jordan, 22, Andrew Trotman, 19, Kevene Holloway, 19, Fabian Duke, 25, all of Arthur' Seat, St Thomas, along with Michael Hoyte, 22, of Melrose, St Thomas, and Ron Quarless, 19, of Brownes Gap, Jackson, St Michael were not required to plead.
Prosecutor Sergeant Janice Ifill in outlining the prosecution objection to bail, said all offences were serious.
She said the charges spanned two jurisdictions and contended that society needed to be protected from the accused and from such offences.
