Man gets nine months for simple larceny
Devon Semple
A 35-year-old Werk-en-Rust resident was yesterday sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to two counts of simple larceny charges at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
The court heard that between June 2nd and June 7th at Regent Street, Georgetown, Devon Semple stole three door mats, three laundry baskets and one umbrella valued at $18,150 – property of Farzana Haniff.
When asked about the charges against him, the defendant pleaded guilty, saying that he indeed stole the mats but he didn’t steal the baskets, and since he is being blamed for the crime he is going to accept all the charges.
He further told Magistrate Annette Singh that, “you can give me whatever so I could go and cool out my head, I begging for a lil couple months man”.
The articles in the matter were never recovered.
The defendant was only recently released from prison.
