Diamond teen jailed for stealing bus driver’s money

A teenager, who admitted to stealing a quantity of cash from a minibus driver whose vehicle he had travelled in to Georgetown, was on Friday jailed for six months by Principle Magistrate Faith McGusty when he appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Eighteen-year-old Daniel Wilson of Lot 1397 Fourth Bridge, Diamond Housing Scheme, admitted that on July 10, 2019 at Lombard Street, Georgetown, he stole $24,620 from of Oslyn Roberts.
Prosecutor Annalisa Brummell in presenting facts to the Court stated that on July 10 the teen was travelling in the motor vehicle which was destined for Georgetown and upon arrival in the city, he observed the money on the bus floor and picked it up.
After realising that Roberts had already seen his actions, Wilson began running and the Virtual Complainant gave chase. Wilson was caught and handed over the money to the minibus driver. A report was also made and he was handed over to the Police.
Magistrate McGusty jailed the teen.
