The home of Hattieville resident Wendy Castillo was burglarized on Monday by culprits, believed to be her neighbours.  Castillo’s husband got news of the break-in at around three o’clock that afternoon and they later found that sixteenth thousand, six hundred and ninety-five dollars in items were stolen. The thieves got their hands on everything that was small enough to carry with ease. And we mean everything… from feminine products and food items to jewelry and electronics. Twenty year old Carlton Wade and twenty-one-year old Joel McGregor were remanded to the Central Prison for the Burglary today.

McGregor was caught on Monday night with a video game valued at four hundred dollars that was stolen from the Castillo’s. But that was nothing compared to over eight thousand dollars in stolen items, including a Rolex watch and assorted jewelry that Wade had in his possession when he was picked up on Tuesday. He led police to another five thousand, seven hundred dollars in loot on Wednesday.  Cops also found out that Wade had pawned some of the jewelry using the name Carl Garnett. The duo was additionally charged for Handling Stolen Goods and Damage to Property for locks that were broken to enter the house. They pleaded not guilty and bail was denied because McGregor is a repeat offender with charges of Theft and Burglary pending in court. He had also been missing court dates for those charges and a bench warrant was in effect for his arrest. Wade, on the other hand, is a first time offender but he too was denied bail in the interest of the investigation. Both men are to return to court on October seventh.
