A 35-year-old man from Valencia has been granted $100,000 bail after appearing in court for a botched burglary at a First Citizens bank (FCB) ATM in Caparo, last month.
Rohan Ramnarine, of Swan Quarry, Valencia, was granted bail after appearing before Senior Magistrate Joanne Connor in the Chaguanas Magistrate’s Court.
He was charged with attempting to break and enter the ATM, breaking into Shop Rite Variety Store and possession of implements used for burglaries.
According to reports, after midnight on October 18, an off-duty police officer went to the ATM to make a withdrawal when he heard strange noises coming from the back of the building.
He investigated and found holes in the back of the building leading to the ATM and the store. He also saw two men running away from the scene.
Ramnarine was eventually arrested at his home, last Thursday, by a team of police officers led by Senior Supt Ajith Persad, who were selected to probe the burglary and several others, which occurred at banks in Central Trinidad recently.
He will reappear in court on December 4.
