MILTON Smith, 28, of Lot 169 Thomas Street, was remanded to prison yesterday, after being convicted of break and enter and larceny. He appeared before Acting Chief Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and pleaded guilty to the offence, admitting that, on February 27, he broke and entered Comenius Primary School, in Anira Street, also in Georgetown, from where he stole toilet paper, paper tape, and a staple machine, amongst booty with a total value of $4,050, property of the Ministry of Education.
The burglar said he committed the burglary to steal biscuits because he was hungry but took the other items that he also saw.
The magistrate ordered a probation report into Smith’s background and refused him pre-sentencing liberty.
He will know his fate on March 11.
