A man who confessed to stealing seven bottles of perfume was on Wednesday fined by Magistrate Fabayo Azore when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Ram Narine, 56, of Lot 25 Garnett Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, told the Magistrate that on April 29, 2018 at Aubrey Barker road, he found the perfumes in a yard.
However, the Police Prosecutor told the court that the accused reportedly stole the items from a storage bin where the Virtual Complainant (VC), Ganesh Mangal stored them for safe keeping.
The Prosecutor added that after stealing the items, a neighbour alerted Mangal and Narine attempted to escape but was apprehended.
Magistrate Fabayo Azore warned him not to touch things that do not belong to him even if they are not secured. He was fined $15,000 or a default of two weeks imprisonment.
Narine was granted until May 18 to pay the fine.
