JUNIOR Harry, an habitual offender known as ‘Little Current’, was sentenced to one year’s imprisonment after he confessed to a charge of simple larceny before New Amsterdam Magistrate Charlyn Artiga.

The 46-year-old father of three asked for a small sentence, citing that he had not given the police “a hard time”. But Magistrate Artiga told the convict that while the offence carries a maximum five-year imprisonment, she would impose a one-year custodial penalty on him after taking into consideration that he did not waste the Court’s time, and that he was also an habitual offender.

Police Sergeant Phillip Sheriff, prosecuting, said that between January 22 and 23 last, virtual complainant Ramsook Latchman had secured his home and had gone to work. On his return, he discovered that a spray can, six carpets, three pairs of slippers, a pair of boots, and grocery items totalling $32,000 had gone missing.

After making enquiries, the complainant received certain information which led to the arrest of the defendant. Sheriff said some of the articles were recovered.
