A MAN accused of breaking into an Eastern Road home and stealing more than $3,000 worth of property was remanded to prison yesterday.
Prosecutors allege that Jamaal Taylor, 29, and several accomplices broke into Jeffrey Barnhill’s home on June 13 after damaging a wooden door and lock.
They allegedly stole property valued at $3,188, including televisions, electronics, computers, a security system and assorted kitchen and gardening appliances and tools.
Taylor pleaded not guilty before Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr to housebreaking, stealing and damage.
Prosecutor Sergeant 3004 Forbes strongly objected to bail, citing public safety concerns and Taylor’s previous convictions, including a 2017 firearm conviction.
Despite Taylor’s objections, Magistrate Allen denied bail and remanded him to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Taylor was informed of his right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
He returns to court on October 30.
