Two men facing charges of conspiracy, burglary, theft, and criminal mischief have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Demson Sachuo and Amado Kereman, both 18, through their lawyers, pleaded not guilty last Monday to four charges filed against them after an alleged burglary in Kagman 3.
Sachuo and Kereman were arraigned last Monday in front of Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo.
He scheduled both Sachuo and Kereman for a status conference on Feb. 11 at 9am.
According to court information, police responded to a burglary in progress on Nov. 27, 2018, at 2:28am in Kagman 3, behind the CYC store.
Police identified the suspects as Kereman and Sachuo.
Kereman refused to give a statement to the police, but Sachuo allegedly admitted that it was his idea to break into a neighbor’s house.
During the preliminary hearing, it was learned that Kereman allegedly conspired with Sachuo to burglarize the neighboring home while Okaruru and Norita stayed back.
The two other suspects, however, allegedly warned Kereman and Sachuo when flashing lights were seen from a distance.
Sachuo told police that he and Kereman took a backpack, a small lamp, and batteries from the house.
It was learned during the preliminary hearing that other stolen items included perfume, watches, and domino chips that have yet to be recovered.
The stolen items came out to a sum of $1,258, excluding repairs to the burglarized home.
Police charged the two with conspiracy, burglary, and theft and criminal mischief.
A $20,000 cash bail was imposed on both defendants.
