A man who normally assists with odd jobs in the compound of the Felix Austin Police Collage was on Friday jailed for stealing a grass cutter.
Bennard Anthony was jailed for six months when he appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts to answer to the simple larceny charge.
The court heard that on April 27, 2018, while in the Police College training compound, Anthony stole one weeding machine valued $180,000; property of the Guyana Police Force.
The man pleaded guilty before explaining to the court that he saw the machine in the compound and decided to take it since no one was using it.
He was subsequently arrested by a rank after trying to escape on a bicycle with the stolen item.
