DENNIS Grenville of Lot 90 Roxanne Burnham Gardens yesterday appeared before City Magistrate Ann McLennan accused of damaging his nephew’s padlock.

Grenville pleaded guilty to the charge that said on July 22, at Roxanne Burnham Gardens, he unlawfully and maliciously damaged one padlock along with a hasp and staple valued $1,700, property of his nephew, Trevor Grenville.

Grenville’s lawyer explained that his client is a 45-year-old food vendor. The lawyer further stated that the virtual complainant (VC) is a police officer and he would normally bring females into the said house and his client had become frustrated over his actions. The lawyer noted that the lock was broken because the house owner, the uncle, was conducting his own investigation.
Prosecutor Deniro Jones stated that on the day in question the VC returned home from work and found the locks on his door prised open. The uncle, when confronted with the allegation, admitted that he was the one who broke the lock, but he could not provide an explanation. The matter was subsequently reported.
The Magistrate ordered the food vendor to pay $2,000 in compensation for the damage.
