Cellular phone thief jailed

Jun 02, 2011 News

Nineteen-year-old Nicolas Danraj, who was charged with simple larceny, will have to spend the next 12 months in jail.
On May 28 on Sandy Babb Street Kitty, Danraj stole one BlackBerry Pearl cellular phone, one phone case, and one memory card, the property of Simone Lionel.
The defendant pleaded guilty when he appeared yesterday before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Police Prosecutor Venetta Pindar stated that the complainant had left her cellular phone charging at the defendant’s home.
She then sent her boyfriend later in the day to retrieve the cellular phone from Danraj’s home.
It turned out that the defendant left with the phone and other articles.
Pindar then told the court that the accused was questioned by the complainant and her boyfriend and he told them that he had sold the phone for $5,000.
Lionel made a report to the police station and the defendant was cautioned, arrested and charged with the offence.
The prosecution had no objections to bail.
Nicolas Danraj, who did not know his date of birth and where he lived, when questioned by the magistrate as to why he committed such an act, stated, “Me mother used to work fuh she and she friend and they neva pay her, so I took de phone and sell it to give me mother de money.”
Lionel, however, denied that the defendant’s mother ever worked with her.
