Break and enter convict to spend Christmas in jail

Oct 27, 2009 News

A labourer known as ‘Buck’ was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday after he was convicted of breaking and entering a business place and stealing items worth $1.1 million.
John Vieira, 33, of Middle Road La Penitence, between October 19 and October 22, broke into the business place of Rajeshwar Singh and stole six barrels, house curtains, clothing, electrical appliances among others.
Vieira, who pleaded guilty, told the court that the building had a hole and he crawled through the said hole to enter the building.
“I take mug and ware bowl, and I only steal it to get money to feed my kids” Vieira said. In begging for leniency from the Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson, Vieira told the court that he returned the items he took.
Singh however told the court that Vieira broke the window of the building to get in.
According to Police Prosecutor, Daneshwar Maindranauth, Singh had secured his place of business. When he returned he found his place had been broken into.
He checked and noticed the articles mentioned were missing and immediately made a report to the police station. “Upon investigating the matter, the police contacted the accused and cautioned him. He admitted to the incident,” Maindranauth said.
The accused took the police to his home where some of the items were recovered.
