Security guard jailed for theft

A 23-year-old security guard who was seen on CCTV footage removing an electrical fan and water dispenser from Radar Security Service, was sentenced to nine months in prison.
Marlon Persaud appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts and admitted that on February 4, at South Road, Lacytown, Georgetown, he broke and entered the business place of Eddy Boodall and stole one electrical fan valued $8000 and one water dispenser valued $45,000.
After admitting to the offence, Persaud stated that he only removed the items to provide for his three children.
According to reports, Persaud was a security guard at the company and on the day in question, he was at work before leaving to assist his friend to break into the office. The items were later discovered to be missing and the Police were summoned.
Persaud was seen in his uniform removing the articles after the CCTV footage was reviewed.
