ASSISTANT Chief Magistrate Carolyn Vogt Evans charged Samuel McCoy, 34, with housebreaking, stealing and receiving.
McCoy and Deangelo Culmer, 34, were also charged with conveying a restricted article into lockup.
McCoy and his accomplices allegedly broke into the residence of Jermicko Collymore on Ocean Street on January 18. The accused reportedly stole $3,500 worth of property, including TVs, jewellery, appliances and game consoles.
McCoy and Culmer are accused of smuggling a TCL 6165A cellphone into lockup at the Nassau Street Police Station on January 19.
The men pleaded not guilty to the charges.
While Culmer was granted bail for the offence, the prosecutor, Superintendent Claudette McKenzie-Lewis, objected to McCoy getting bail, citing the potential risk to the public as this defendant was already on bail for attempted murder and a string of armed robberies.
McCoy will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his trial begins on April 3.
