| We have more tonight on that burglary ring that police have been trying to crack. Two men are in police custody following their arraignment for allegedly aiding others in the burglary of the Post Office on North Front Street.
Twenty-year-old Jahsey Castillo and 37-year-old driver Francis Burke appeared before a Senior Magistrate in Court #2 today, where each was read a single charge of abetment to commit burglary.
The charge alleges that on Tuesday, November 10, the two men purposely aided others in committing burglary at the Post Office on North Front Street. So far, no one has been charged with the actual burglary.
Both men pleaded not guilty. Castillo is already on remand for separate charges of keeping a firearm and ammunition, which he was found with at the scene.
The prosecutor also objected to bail for Burke, arguing that his release could interfere with the ongoing police investigation.
Burke told the court that he is a hardworking man and the sole provider for his family, including children attending high school. The Senior Magistrate granted him bail of $5,000.
Before he could post bail, Burke was also ordered to settle court fines which have been outstanding since 2024.
Despite being granted bail, Burke and Castillo were both further detained by police after their arraignment for an ongoing investigation into the burglaries. |
