Convicted thief slapped with additional 3 years

Twenty-three-year-old Romel Bollers of Lot 120 Luthers Street, Agricola, Greater Georgetown, who is no stranger to the court has again been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment, on Wednesday, by Magistrate Dylon Bess at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts after he was found guilty of stealing a gold chain.
The charge detailed that on August 22, 2018 at Agricola, Bollers snatched Tanya Drakes’s gold chain and pendant valued $80,000.
Bollers had denied the charge and had been remanded to prison.
According to reports, on the day in question, the Virtual Complainant was standing on the Agricola Public Road when Bollers approached her, snatched the chain, and made good his escape.
The accused was previously convicted on multiple charges of robbery, serving a three-year sentence for one, while being on bail for another. During the brief trial, Bollers was unrepresented. Tracy-Ann Gittens prosecuted the case.
