Simple larceny costs man 14 months behind bars

May 03, 2013 News

 

 
Thirty-two year-old Edward Isaacs, of 47 West Road, Sparendaam, E.C.D., was yesterday jailed by Magistrate Sueanna Lovell at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, after he pleaded guilty to two charges of simple larceny.
The prosecution’s facts revealed that the defendant, on April 30, stole one palette lifter worth $400,000 from the Anira Street, Queenstown residence of Monif Ali. Isaacs pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to one year in prison.
On a second charge which stated that on April 27 at West Bel Air Park, he stole a number of articles from Michael Rodrigues of 601 Anira Street, Queenstown totaling $262,500, the defendant emphatically denied the allegations stating that he did not commit the offence and that he was being wrongfully accused. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Magistrate Lovell placed the defendant on $100,000 bail.
Isaacs, upon realising that he could be granted bail, then asked if he could change his plea to the first charge to not guilty, but the Magistrate explained that she would be unable to change her decision.
The defendant then asked if he could change his plea on the second charge to guilty, and this was granted.
He was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment. The sentences will run concurrently.
