A homeless man, who reportedly stole a bag of garlic along with a bag of Boulanger, was on Tuesday jailed when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Thirty-four-year-old Bhisham Sookdeo of no fixed address admitted to Magistrate Annette Singh that he stole the items on April 7, 2018, at Waterloo Street, Georgetown from Alesia Hayman.
Police Prosecutor Devon Goodman revealed to the court that Sookdeo was given the bags containing the aforementioned items to take to the Bourda Market for the Virtual Complainant (VC), who is a stall holder. However, he never delivered nor were the goods ever recovered.
Magistrate Singh cautioned the repeat offender not to make a third appearance before her as she will be inclined to give him the maximum penalty.
After telling him to “stop stealing people’s things,” Singh sentenced him to spend the next month behind bars.
