PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – A 53-year-old woman appeared in court on Monday charged with robbing former West Indies cricket captain, Brian Lara.

Police charged the former housemaid, Ann Marie Marcano with stealing items from Lara’s residence during the period January 2005 to February this year.

She pleaded not guilty to the offence and was released on TT$50,000 (US$8,300) bail. She will re-appear in court on February 11.

Last week, the Trinidad Guardian newspaper said that police had recovered several items at the house of a former employee of Lara as they investigated a multi-million dollar theft at his home last Tuesday.

Police said that nearly TT$500,000 (US$83,300) in various currencies and half a million dollars in jewelry were in the safe that also contained several tickets for the February 18 concert by American R&B Beyonce that Lara’s events company is involved with, as well personal documents and contracts.
