Bike thief sentenced to 6 months

May 15, 2013 News

 

 
A 22-year-old man claimed he was under the influence of alcohol when he stole a bicycle in Campbellville in order that he may sell it to get more money for rum. His reason for committing the offence was unconvincing and earned him a period of incarceration.
Jermine Ramgobin who appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court, pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on May 12, in Seaforth Street, Campbellville, he stole one mountain bike, worth $18,000, property of Keith Cheddie.
According to Prosecutor Jumo Nichols, on the day in question at about 20:00 hours, the defendant, whilst in the Campbellville area, stole the complainant’s bicycle that was parked. A report was made at the Kitty Police Station and the defendant was arrested. Whilst in custody, the defendant who was intoxicated told the police that he sold the bike to a man for $3000.
Magistrate Latchman then asked Ramgobin why he took the bike and to this he retorted “Your worship I was drunk and I needed money.”
To this, Magistrate Latchman sternly told the defendant “You need to work harder if you want money and do so the honest way. You need to reconsider your actions, for wrongdoing will only cause you not to see your way in life. Nevertheless, you are sentenced to six months imprisonment.
