Security guard jailed for theft
Puran Persaud, a security guard and alcoholic attached at the Essequibo Technical Institute, was on Wednesday sentenced to two years imprisonment by Magistrate Sunil Scarce, after he admitted to stealing his neighbour’s cash and jewellery.
Persaud appeared unrepresented at the Anna Regina Magistrate court. Reports are that Persaud, on Tuesday, walked into his neighbour’s house after gauging her movements and stole all of her gold jewellery and cash, which amounted to thousands of dollars.
The neighbour was visiting another neighbour at the time.
Persaud was subsequently arrested. He later took the police to where he hid the stolen items.
