A repeat offender was yesterday given his second theft-related jail term after he confessed to a city Magistrate that he had stolen a bicycle.
Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry sentenced 37-year-old Vijay Singh to six months imprisonment following his guilty plea to the larceny from the person charge which was read to him.
Singh, who identified himself as a porter, was accused of stealing a $30,000 bicycle belonging to Paul Younge at Public Road, East La Penitence on May 22.
The porter who asked the Chief Magistrate to explain his actions said “The owner get back his bike.” When asked whether that was the extent of his explanation, Singh responded “Yes your worship.”
He added “I work as a porter at the market and one time they claim I carry away plantain from a stand. I was convicted for break and enter and larceny and I spend eight months in jail.”
