Antigua deports 12-year-old Guyanese boy for string of break-ins

Jun 28, 2012 News

 

 

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – A boy, who has allegedly been breaking into people’s houses since age nine, will be returned to his country of birth, Guyana, following a deportation order by the court.
Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh made the order for his removal from the state after the 12-year-old pleaded guilty to house breaking and larceny. The child has been without legal status in the country for some time.
On Thursday, June 21, about 11 am, the virtual complainant secured his premises and left for the grocery shop.
The child entered the house in his absence and took up at least three gold chains and a baseball cap. Neighbours spotted the child leaving the victim’s house and held him.
The complainant was notified and he returned home. According to the facts, the child was handed over to a police officer who resides in the area. He was taken to the Gray’s Farm Police Station, where the allegation was put to him.
The 12-year-old told the police that he entered the house, drank some water and took the items. He was arrested and charged. A restitution order was made.
The boy has been attached to a social worker who allegedly expressed that she is fed up with his behaviour.
It is alleged that he was pushed through windows by older accomplices during several break-ins.
The child was allegedly given “a break” by the police because of his age at that time. (Antigua Observer)
