A man who admitted stealing a quantity of windows from the Guyana Police Force mess was yesterday sentenced to six months imprisonment when he appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.
It is alleged that on October 13 at Camp Street, Georgetown, Junior Smith stole a quantity of awning windows valued $16,000, belonging to the Guyana Police Force.
Smith pleaded guilty to the charge of simple larceny when it was read to him by the acting chief magistrate.
Prosecutor Lionel Harvey told the court that the defendant on the night in question went into the compound of the mess and stole the windows and tried to escape but he was subsequently caught and arrested for the offence.
“Yeah, I do it!” was Smith’s response to the court. He was later handed a six-months prison sentence.
