Guard jailed for stealing cement mixer; ‘Scarface’ gets 3 years for break-in

Two East Coast Demerara men (ECD) were sentenced to prison this week in separate court proceedings for larceny-related offences.
One of the men had previously appeared before the courts in connection with a sexual offence.
In the first case, Rawl Success, a 27-year-old security guard of Lot 102 Beterverwagting (BV) Sideline Dam, was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to stealing a cement mixer valued at G$450,000 from Quincy Kendall. The theft occurred on June 3, and Success was promptly arrested.

He appeared before Magistrate Abigail Gibbs at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, where he admitted to the charge of simple larceny.
Following his guilty plea, Success was sentenced to 24 months in prison.
In the second matter, Ryan Sookdeo, known as ‘Scarface’, a 21-year-old fisherman of Lusignan, was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to a break-and-enter-and-larceny charge.
The offence was committed on June 1 at the Non-Pariel home of 32-year-old Samantha Jairam, where Sookdeo unlawfully entered and removed items from her dwelling.
The charge was laid by ranks at the Vigilance Police Station, and Sookdeo appeared before Senior Magistrate Sunil Scarce at the Vigilance Magistrate’s Court, where he admitted to the offence and received his sentence.
