Labourer gets four years for burglary

Dec 29, 2013 News

 

 
A 30-year-old labourer, who claimed to have stolen $2.2 M in items from his employer because he was underpaid, has been sentenced to imprisonment after he was found guilty.
Roxroy Jeffers alleged that between July 22 and July 23, last, Frankie Slowe had broken into his dwelling place in Georgetown and therein swiped a quantity of items which amounted to some $2.2M in items.
Slowe was first brought before Magistrate Faith Mc Gusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court where an indictable break and enter and larceny charge was read to him.
During that court hearing, the man explained that he was employed by Jeffers. According to him he was underpaid, so he decided to pay himself “in a way.” After listening to his explanation, the Magistrate remanded Slowe to prison until September 04.
His matter was subsequently transferred to Magistrate Ann McLennan, where, when given the opportunity he pleaded not guilty.  However, the Magistrate recently found him guilty as charged after conducting his trial.
The particulars of the charge in question detailed that he managed to steal three flat screen television sets, one computer surround system, one Sony stereo set, eight pairs of gents shoes, a quantity of male clothing as well as 30 bottles of alcohol. All of the items were said to have belonged to Jeffers.
As a result, Slowe will leave his Lot 257 Laing Avenue, North Ruimveldt dwelling place to occupy one of the cells in the Georgetown Prisons for the next four years.
