Patrick Westmoreland, a man accused of receiving stolen property and larceny of a motor vehicle in relation to two separate cars, was again remanded when his case was mentioned in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday.

The allegations against the 52-year-old are that he was seen driving a car that was reported stolen from the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre, a few days earlier. He was seen in St Catherine. He, however, told the court that he had been asked to deliver the car to someone in the parish and had no knowledge that it was stolen.

In relation to the second charge, it is alleged that Westmoreland responded to the complainant's newspaper advertisement about a car for sale. It is alleged that he went to the complainant's home and looked at the vehicle. He reportedly took it for a test drive, but did not return. The car was, however, recovered a few days later with a different licence plate.

Westmoreland's attorney had earlier told the court that he had kept the car so a mechanic could look at it. The court was also told that he had a previous conviction for fraud and larceny.
