“I ask yuh fuh a small sentence to wuk into each other,” Mark Duncan requested after pleading guilty to a charge of simple larceny when he appeared yesterday before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson in Court One.
Duncan asked the magistrate for leniency since he is already serving a sentence of three years for fraudulent conversion. His plea was for the sentences to run concurrently.
He pleaded guilty to the charge which reads that on March 15, he stole one cart, nineteen tables, and three cases of vodka, among other items; the total value being $305,500, being the property of Lana Edwards.
The court was told that Edwards is a shopkeeper and had secured her items. Upon her return they were discovered missing and investigations were carried out which led to the arrest of Duncan.
Duncan was reportedly aided by a woman in the execution of the crime. However since the charges have been instituted she is alleged to have moved out and her whereabouts are unknown.
Duncan was then sentenced to two years imprisonment but it will run concurrently with his current sentence.
