When the matter was mentioned, Judge Yvette Wentworth-Miller granted bail to Prendergast on condition that he lives in Bog Walk while the matter is active in court.
The investigating officer told the court that more time was needed to complete the file on the others, as such, they were remanded until May 30.
The court was told that on May 14, the police were on patrol in Wynters Pen when the men were held burning copper wires. They were arrested and subsequently charged with larceny.
