A 38-year-old former resident of South Beach is facing a string of stealing charges in connection with almost $14,000.
It is alleged that Lennox Rolle stole the funds from Nassau Flight Services while he was an employee of the company in 1999.
In February 1999, Rolle allegedly stole $963.26. And again in April he allegedly stole an additional $695.28.
Prosecutors also allege that sometime in May, Rolle allegedly stole funds amounting to $7,990.30, at seven different times; and in June he allegedly stole $924.48 on five separate occasions.
In total Rolle allegedly stole $13,942.69 over a four-month period.
Prosecutors told the court that Rolle had been in another jurisdiction, where he also has a matter pending.
Rolle, who was represented by Roger Gomez Jr., was arraigned yesterday before Magistrate Susan Sylvester but was not required to plead.
Magistrate Sylvester granted Rolle $5,000 bail with one surety and set a preliminary inquiry date for July 6.
In other court matters:
Johnson Road residents, 26-year-old Haitian, Lucksioner Mesadieu, and a Bahamian, Valentino Major, 22, were charged with possession of a forged document, uttering a forged document and attempted fraud by false pretences.
Major did not show up for yesterday’s arraignment due to other matters in another court and is scheduled to return to face the forgery charges at a later date.
It is alleged that on March 30, Mesadieu and Major had a forged Royal Bank of Canada cheque in the amount of $3,300 and attempted to cash it at a Royal Bank branch.
The signature on cheque number 748 was allegedly not genuine.
Mesadieu pleaded not guilty to the charges and was granted $2,000 bail.
He will return to court on June 26 for a preliminary inquiry.
