This was the plight of a 38-year-old vagrant who pleaded guilty yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court when the charges of simple larceny and damage to property were read to him by Magistrate Ann Mc Lennan.
According to the facts of the case, on August, 7 at East Street, Georgetown, Junior Luthers, broke the front windscreen of a car, property of 27-year-old Keron Ross of Lot 42 Hadfield Street, Georgetown, and stole a handbag which consisted of several articles valued at $44,000. On the said date, Ross who is employed at Rentokil Pest Control Agency was at a customer’s residence. Whilst spraying the premises, the complainant was alerted by a maid, who informed him that his car was being broken into.
The victim ran out to his car and caught the defendant with his bag. Luthers was then taken to the station where a report was made. He was told of the offence and arrested.
Magistrate Mc Lennan then gave the defendant two years on each charge. The sentences will run concurrently.
