A 17-year-old man with a pending armed robbery charge was remanded to Simpson Penn Centre for Boys yesterday after being accused of stealing a car.
Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr arraigned the defendant, whose name is withheld due to his age, on charges of stealing and receiving.
Prosecutors allege that on January 28, the defendant and accomplices stole a white 2014 Nissan Note valued at $8,000 from Jordanay Joseph in New Providence.
The defendant, accompanied by his guardian, pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor Sergeant 2257 Wilkinson objected to bail, noting that the accused already has a pending armed robbery charge and was on probation for a prior offence.
The magistrate denied bail, remanding him to Simpson Penn.
His trial is set for June 5.
