Battery thief to spend the next 12 months in jail
Anthony Bair, of Angoy’s Avenue, was yesterday jailed for 12 months by Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo when he appeared before her at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court and pleaded guilty to a charge of simple Larceny.
Prosecution, Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, told the court that on Tuesday May 21, at No 2 Village, East Canje Berbice the virtual complainant Ramnauth Megnauth parked his vehicle and went into his home. He subsequently retired to his bed.
During the night he was aroused by a neighbour who told him something. Upon looking outside he saw the accused making off with two batteries in his possession.
An alarm was raised and with the help of neighbours and public spirited citizens the accused was apprehended. He was subsequently handed over to the police and charged.
In court he pleaded guilty and begged the Magistrate to be lenient with him.
