A 31-year-old man was charged in the Magistrate’s Court with attempting to break into another man’s house earlier this year.

Andrew Cooper, of Devonshire Street, stood before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt charged with attempting to break into the house of Herman Coston Jr at Cambridge Avenue on January 22 intending to commit a felony.

After electing to have his matter tried in the Magistrate’s Court, Cooper pleaded not guilty to the one charge of attempted housebreaking.

The chief magistrate subsequently adjourned and transferred the matter to Court 10 on September 20 at 10am for fixture.

Cooper was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services (BDCS) until that time. He has the right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail.
