A TWENTY-seven-year-old man was on Tuesday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for break and enter and larceny as the court awaits a probation report. Quacy Jaundoo pleaded guilty with explanation to the charge, and will return to court on Thursday for sentencing.

Particulars of the charge said that between December 27 and February 11 last at Itering Landing, he broke and entered the dwelling house of John Gill and stole a quantity of tools to the value of over $1,070,000M.
According to the unrepresented man, he worked with Gill for about three months and a half and had all the tools in his possession. He told the court that since his being employed, he has not received wages from his employer.
Jaundoo said he kept asking for his money but never got paid, so he decided to sell the tools and use the money for passage to go home.
According to the prosecution, the articles were secured and Jaundoo did not have access to them.
