A mason was on Wednesday jailed for simple larceny when he appeared before Magistrate Dylan Bess at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Leon Murray, 30, had initially denied the charge when it was read to him by city Magistrate Judy Latchman in February of this year.
The charge stated that on December 26, 2017, at Castello Housing Scheme, Georgetown, Murray stole two gold chains valued $115,000, two gold rings valued $120,000 and bangles valued $15,000, a total value of $250,000, property of Shawn Solomon.
The defendant was remanded to prison after the Police Prosecutor objected to bail. In court on Tuesday, Magistrate Bess informed Murray that there was sufficient evidence to convict him for the offence.
Following the conclusion of the trial on Wednesday, Murray was jailed. He was sent to prison for the next nine months.
