‘Troubled’ Teen gets two years for stealing

Dec 04, 2013 News

 

 
A teenager who said she stole a quantity of items to provide for her younger brothers was yesterday sentenced to two years in prison.
Eighteen-year-old Teanisha Evans was handed the sentence by Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard that the items which are valued in excess of $500,000, were stolen on November 16 from the Alberttown home of Ingrid Blair, a teacher.
Blair is reportedly a friend of the ‘troubled’ teen and had posted several court bonds for her in previous cases before the court.
According to the specifics of the case, on the day in question, Blair went to work leaving Evans in her home. When the teacher returned, she discovered that her flat screen television, Dell laptop, Nintendo and other items were missing from her place of abode.
Blair subsequently made a report to the police and Evans was arrested and charged with simple larceny.
At the hearing yesterday, Evans said that she had stolen the items because her mother had passed away leaving she, along with her 15 and 12-year-old brothers in the care of a negligent father. The teen admitted to selling the items to “someone in South Ruimveldt” to use the money to help care for her family.
Magistrate Ann McLennan subsequently handed down a two-year jail sentence.
