Teen charged for stealing adopted father’s gun

A teenager who allegedly stole his adopted father’s gun along with ammunition was on Monday arraigned before city Magistrate Judy Latchman to answer to the offences.
Chris Pollard, 17, of Lot 46 D’Urban Street, Georgetown, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Courts and pleaded guilty to the offence.
However, he changed his plea to not guilty when Magistrate Latchman cautioned him that his guilty plea would send him directly to prison.
The charges against him stated that on January 28, 2018 at David Street, Kitty, he stole a .32 pistol, along with 10 matching rounds of ammunition valued $252,600 from Peter Pollard.
Prosecutor Arvin Moore revealed that the teen visited his father and stolen the weapon and ammunition from under his pillow where they were being kept.
He was apprehended by Police and reportedly immediately admitted to the offence.
As such, he was remanded to prison until February 26.
