One of the accused who is alleged to have stolen $30,000 from Supreme Fuel on Friday, has been released on bail while another has been remanded in custody.

Ravin Dutt and Daniel Aruj, employees of Supreme Fuel, appeared this afternoon in the Magistrates Court before Magistrate Josaia Waqaivolavola.

The accused' lawyer, while applying for bail, told the court his clients claimed they were assaulted while in custody and that from the time of arrest, were not given food until yesterday and had to sleep on the cell floor with no blanket and mattress.

Magistrate Waqaivolavola said he had taken into account the alleged claims and thus he was to release the two on $5,000 bail with assurity of the same amount, however accused one Aruj's brother, was not seen by the magistrate to be able to pay the assurity and so Aruj has been remanded in custody with Dutt released on bail with certain conditions.

The case is adjourned to November 4th.

It was reported that the break-in occured when the Service Station was closed on Friday night.
