Teen remanded for stealing army officer’s car

Apr 09, 2013 News

 

Of the three teenage boys that allegedly stole an army officer’s car, a 16-year-old boy appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court where he pleaded guilty to the accusation.
Police reports revealed that on April 5, the army officer had parked his car on Camp Street with the engine running and went to the ATM at Citizens Bank to withdraw money. It was then that the lads entered the car and drove off with it. It is believed that the youths went on a lengthy joyride before ending up in Republic Park.
On their journey, the trio reportedly spotted a police patrol. Consequently, the lad who was at the wheel panicked and reversed into a ditch.
It is alleged that the youths exited the car and after walking some distance away, shamelessly asked another driver to help them extricate the stolen vehicle from the ditch.
The driver reportedly left the scene and returned with a rope to haul the wedged vehicle. Around the same time, police ranks also turned up at the scene and arrested two of the teens. The third accused who escaped, was subsequently caught in Nandy Park by the very driver that assisted them. The man, with assistance from ranks of a security firm, took the boys to the Ruimveldt Police Station.
Though the vehicle was recovered at Nandy Park, the 16 year-old who resides at Lot 2 Henry Street, Werk-en-rust was remanded to police custody pending a probation report.
