A 70-year-old man found himself before the court last week for forging Guyana and United States monies.
Dennis Harris of Cooper Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to the charges which stated that on September 27, 2018, at America Street, Georgetown, with intent to defraud the public, he had in his possession one forged US$100 bill, a forged US$50 bill and a forged GY$1000 bill. The pensioner denied the charges when it was read to him.
Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail being granted on the grounds that the pensioner was a repeat offender. He informed the court that this is not the first time Harris is being charged for the offence.
Harris’s lawyer, Paul Fung-A-Fat in his bail application told the court that his client was charged a long time ago and that charge has nothing to do with the present charge.
Magistrate Daly granted Harris G$100,000 bail and adjourned the case to October 26.
