Sep 27, 2012 News

Wesley Ferdinand, 48, of Sparendaam was yesterday released on $10,000 bail after he allegedly stole $20,000 worth in plastic containers and footwear from a female vendor.  The man admitted to the crime but explained that he accidentally threw away the items.
“I was sweeping up the place and see the things in a bag. I tek them for rubbish so I throw them away.”
The defendant also claimed that he might have given some of the items away.
Chief Magistrate (Ag) Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, who was hearing the matter then told the defendant that a not guilty plea will be entered for him based on his explanation.
Ferdinand told the court that he wished to maintain his guilty plea.  He explained that he spends most of his life on the streets and he does odd jobs to survive but that he would repay the complainant for the articles if he is given a chance.
The virtual complainant agreed to be compensated for the items and the Magistrate released Ferdinand on bail.
