A man who was accused of stealing from a church in Georgetown was on Monday remanded to prison for the offence.
The man, Jameer Shaw, was charged with stealing a TV, amplifiers, and other appliances from the Trinity Methodist Church at Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown.
He appeared before Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly, who read the charge to him.
The charge stated that between March 22 and 23, 2022, at Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, he broke into the Methodist Church and stole a number of appliances, which were the property of the church.
