Man jailed for breaking into plumber’s home

Jan 03, 2013 News

A resident of Mocha Arcadia will spend the next two years in jail even after repaying his victim for what he had stolen from him.
The man, Stephan Henry, appeared at the Providence Magistrate’s Court where Magistrate Leslie Sobers handed down the sentence.
Back in November Henry was charged with break and enter and larceny. It is alleged that on November 27, last, at Mocha Arcadia, he broke into the dwelling place of Berkley Gordon and stole one flat screen television set worth $140,000, one desk top computer valued at $160,000 and a bag with cash totaling $250,000.
The court was told that on the day in question the VC secured his home and left for a funeral. When he returned he noticed that his home had been broken into. The matter was reported and acting on information, the police arrested the accused who subsequently admitted committing the crime.
The court was informed by the Police Prosecutor that the accused even escorted police ranks to a house where some of the stolen articles were recovered. The accused was then charged.
To the charge the accused pleaded guilty and indicated to the court that he was willing to repay the virtual complainant for the items. However the accused had requested that he be given time to accumulate the money to repay the VC. This was granted and during yesterday’s court hearing the last sum of $160,000 was paid back to the VC.
However under the law, despite the fact that Gordon was compensated the accused was informed that it will not spare him from jail time. Henry was sentenced to two years in prison.
