A MAN was granted bail after being accused of breaking into a police station in Andros last month and stealing a scooter.
The same defendant is also accused of breaching probation on a prior charge.
Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley arraigned Jimmy Johnson, 18, on charges of shopbreaking, stealing, receiving, and three counts of breaching bail.
Prosecutors allege that Johnson broke into the Fresh Creek Police Station and stole a black Yamaha Crypton scooter between 7am on February 4 and 1pm on February 5.
While on probation for a previous offence, Johnson allegedly failed to behave well on December 17 2024. He is also accused of failing to complete 100 hours of community service by December 18 2024 and failing to repay Forrest Engle $400 by January 31.
The defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Johnson was granted $5,000 bail with one or two sureties. Under the terms of his bail, he must sign in at the Fresh Creek Police Station every Friday by 6pm.
His trial is scheduled to begin in Andros on May 26.
Inspector Deon Barr served as the prosecutor.
