Deportee charged for stealing 2 deodorants

A deportee of French Guiana was on Monday arraigned for stealing two deodorants from Bounty Supermarket when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Thirty-eight-year-old Ryan Hing pleaded guilty to the charge which stated that on August 23, 2019, at Regent Road, Georgetown, he stole two deodorants belonging to Bounty Supermarket.
Hing told the court that he was deported from French Guiana for attempted murder and has been living on the streets ever since.
He further told the court that upon his deportation, he found out that his brother had sold the family property, which led him to take up residency at any location when it gets dark.
“I went to Queen’s College and I was in class with Principal Magistrate Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs. I wrote CXC, including French, and was successful. I am sorry for stealing the deodorants but I must admit I returned both,” Hing expressed.
Police stated that on the day in question, Hing went to Bounty Supermarket and was observed by a security guard acting in a suspicious manner. The security guard then approached him and requested to carry out a search and it was while doing so that the items were found in his possession.
The police were called and the accused was arrested.
The Magistrate, after listening to the facts, sentenced Hing to 80 hours of community service or an alternative of two-week imprisonment.
