The Superior Court has ordered the release of a man involved in a burglary case after he promised the court that he would appear at all scheduled hearings.
Associate Judge David A. Wiseman issued the order on Dec. 18, that Hilario Angui, a resident of Koblerville, be released on the condition that he will return to the court wherever required to do so and obey all Commonwealth laws.
Record showed that Angui has a previous criminal history of arrests and convictions in numerous in burglary and theft incidents.
The next hearing to review Angui’s case was yesterday but there were no available documents.
According to an affidavit of probable cause in support of the issuance of a warrant of arrest filed by Detective Kevin R. Maratita on Nov. 11, 2007, Angui was identified in footages from a security camera at the Commonwealth Health Center where two laptops were stolen on Sept. 21, 2007.
The two laptops were stolen from the offices of Dr. Richard Brostrom and Isidro R. Ogarto, which contained patient information and were estimated at a value of $4,000 for both laptops.
The surveillance camera revealed footage of Angui entering the Department of Public Health. He was also seen leaving the premises with a box tucked under his left arm.
One of the laptops was later returned to Ogarte. Angui allegedly stated that the other was given to a friend who was with him during the time of the burglary.
He was ordered to pay a bail of $20,000.
