–after admitting to the crime

A 41-year-old labourer who allegedly stole a facing from the Georgetown Public Hospital was on Wednesday charged and ordered to undergo five hours of community service.
Clive Bobb, of Tiger Bay, admitted to City Magistrate Anneth Singh that on November 3 at New Market Street, Georgetown, he stole a facing valued $10,000 from the GPHC building.
On the day in question, Bobb was arrested by the hospital security after he was seen removing the facing from the GPHC building.

The magistrate, after considering Bobb’s early guilty plea, ordered that he do his community service at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Last December, Bobb was caught breaking into the bond of the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL) at Lama Avenue, Bel Air Park, with the intention of vandalising the building.
Bobb was seen by a GNNL employee removing and carrying away wood from the building, which had been damaged by fire in 2014.
He was handed over to the police, but the charges were later dropped.
