A 31-year-old man, who stole items from a medical doctor, has been jailed for 12 months for simple larceny.
Jailed: Ryan Rahayida
Ryan Rahayida of Onderneeming, Essequibo Coast, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), was found guilty of the crime following a trial before Magistrate Esther Sam at the Suddie Magistrate’s Court.
He committed the offence on February 25, against Dr Dominic Heyliger, a 27-year-old doctor attached to the Suddie Hospital on the Essequibo Coast.
Rahayida had initially pleaded not guilty and had been remanded to prison after the prosecution raised objections to him being released on bail. The custodial sentence was imposed on Friday.
