Five teenagers have been charged with larceny and breaking and entering of a grocery and bar in Biche.

The young men, whose ages range from 16 to 19, were charged and remanded into custody after appearing before a Rio Claro magistrate on Wednesday.

In total six were charged, and the sixth person is 21 years old.

Five of the men pleaded guilty. All six were remanded.

On Friday, when the men re-appear before the court for tracing and sentencing, the 18-year-old who pleaded not guilty, is expected to be placed on bail.

They are suspected of robbing a local grocery and bar of more than $20,000 worth of alcohol, cigarettes, cash and other items on Saturday night.

On Sunday the officers of the Biche Police Station received information which led to a search warrant being executed on a house along Gadar Avenue, Biche.

Some of the items were recovered at the house.

The officers then proceeded to the back of the house for about half a mile before they discovered the rest of items in some bushes spread out on a tarpaulin.

Five of the suspects were held at the scene. The CCTV DVR which was stolen from the bar was found floating in a river near where the men were arrested.

One of the men had a previous conviction for a break-in the Princes Town area.

All six suspects are from the Biche area.

The team of officers responsible for the breakthrough in the case included Cpl Joseph, PCs Manna, Borneo, Lara, Mendoza, Tom and WPC Ferguson.

Cpl Singh is leading the investigation.
