KUALA LUMPUR: A barber claimed trial at a Magistrates Court here today for allegedly owning a stolen motorcycle last month.

Accused M. Uthaya Surian, 27, pleaded not guilty before magistrate Ashraf Rezal Abdul Manan for owning and keeping the stolen motorcycle, a red Honda EX5, worth RM2,000 belonging to one Mazli Mohamad, 49, on June 26.

The offence was committed at the SILK Highway near Kajang Utama, Kajang, around 4pm.

During mitigation for a lower bail, Uthaya's lawyer, P. Muniswer, said his client was a barber earning RM1,500 monthly and was the sole breadwinner of his family. 

Ashraf Rezal set bail at RM6,000 with one surety and ordered the accused to report to the nearest police station, two weeks once.

Mention was fixed on Aug 5.

Prosecuting officer ASP Nom Phot Prackdit appeared for the prosecution.
