Community service for self-confessed fowl thief

Davanand Seecharran of Samaroo Dam, Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara (WBD) was late last week sentenced to four hours community service, after he was found guilty of stealing chickens.
Seecharran appeared before the Wales Magistrate’s Court where he admitted that he was caught red-handed with three chickens that he stole from a poultry farm at Canal Number Two, WBD.
Seecharran said he stole the birds on New Year’s Day to take to his family. He was however intercepted with the three chickens which belonged to Gregory Samaroo.
The court heard that Seecharran handed the chickens over to Samaroo, who later reported the matter to Police. After hearing his story, presiding Magistrate Annette Singh sentenced Seecharran to serve his community service at the La Grange Police Station or face one week in prison.
