A 15-year-old boy was placed under house arrest after he was accused of stealing a motorcycle earlier this week.
Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, charged the juvenile defendant, whose name is being withheld because he is a minor, with stealing and receiving. The teenager’s guardians were present during his arraignment.
The defendant is accused of stealing a black 2023 Yamaha Cross Trade XTZ125E on South Beach Drive on September 10. The motorcycle belonging to Raynell Ferguson is valued at $2,995.
After pleading not guilty to the charge, the defendant was told that his bail would be set at $1,500 on condition he is placed under house arrest and supervised by his parents.
The accused is expected to return to court for a social services report on December 7.
