Man denies stealing safes in Eleuthera break-ins

After two safe thefts on Eleuthera, police say they have the culprit.

Prosecutors say Robertson Baptiste, 31, of Palmetto Point, broke into Bertand Kan’s home between May 4 and 5 and stole a wall safe, worth $3,000.

Additionally, Baptiste allegedly broke into the home on David Solomon between April 16 and 23 and stole a safe, valued at $800.

Baptiste denied charges of house breaking and stealing at an arraignment before Magistrate Ambrose Armbrister.

He’s been denied bail because the magistrate lacks the authority to consider bail for the offenses.

Baptiste did not have a lawyer. He returns to court on June 2 for a trial date.
