Home News Man confesses to b&e charge jailed for 9 months
After admitting that he broke into the home of a woman and took a number of valuables, 23-year-old Ceon Singh was sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for the offence in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Singh appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly on Friday, and pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the dwelling house of Tenisha Edwards, and stealing two cellular phones valued $110,000, a bag valued $5000, a tablet valued $15,000 and $40,000 on March 17, 2020, at East La Penitence, Georgetown.
The court heard that the Virtual Complainant, on the day in question, secured her home and went to bed. However, at about 05:45h, she was awakened by loud noises and ventured out to inspect. Upon doing so, she realised that the electronics and cash were missing.
A police report was later made and following an investigation, Singh was apprehended and taken into custody where he admitted to breaking into the home and removing the items.
After listening to the facts, Magistrate Daly imposed the nine months’ sentence on Singh.
