When the matter was mentioned, Tulloch's lawyer made a successful bail application saying that when her client was held he was looking parts to purchase for his vehicle.

Bail was granted on condition that he reports three times weekly to the Guanoboa Vale Police Station and return to court on November 22.

Allegations are that on May 29, a 2012 Toyota Corolla rented to China Harbour Engineering Company was stolen in Linstead.

A search was launched and the police went to Kingland district, St Catherine, where four persons including the accused were seen scrapping the stolen car.

The other men ran and Tulloch was held by the police and later charged with larceny of a motor vehicle.
