TWO San Salvador men were granted more than $10,000 bail yesterday after they were accused of breaking into an Inn last weekend and stealing a safe containing over $12,000.

Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Terrance Storr Jr, 24, and Dave Major, 25, with shopbreaking and stealing. Storr alone faced an additional charge of receiving.

The pair are accused of breaking into the Riding Rock Inn and Marina in Cockburn Town between 8.30pm on August 18 and 6.45am on August 19. The accused allegedly ran off with a $500 Silver Sentry Valueguard 1380 safe with $12,848 in cash.

Later that Saturday, Storr was arrested after he was allegedly found with $1,774 in cash, which police suspected was stolen.

After both defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges, Storr was granted $14,000 bail while Major’s bail was set at $12,000 with one or two sureties. Under the conditions of their bail, both men must sign in at the Cockburn Town Police Station weekly.

The trial in this matter will be transferred later to the circuit court in San Salvador.
