A 13-year-old Gasparillo girl was yesterday denied bail when she appeared in court, charged with breaking and entering into a house with intent to steal. The teen, with her aunt at her side, appeared before San Fernando Fourth Court magistrate Alicia Chankar. Chankar asked the girl her age. She said she was 13 and gave her date of birth as May 21, 1997. Her aunt confirmed the girl's age.
The magistrate then read that charge that on January 21, 2011, the girl did break and enter into the dwelling house of Gerald Williams with intent to steal. The girl was arrested and charged by PC Babwah. Chankar transferred the matter to the San Fernando Family Court. She remanded the 13-year-old into custody and adjourned the matter to Monday. The teenager was sent to St Jude's Home for girls.
