A 20-year-old South Ruimveldt resident was on Monday fined $80,000 or in default, three months’ imprisonment for stealing a woman’s Amazon tablet.

Dwayne Williams admitted to Magistrate Judy Latchman that on November19th at Toucan Drive, South Ruimveldt, he stole an $80,000 tablet from Stacy Benjamin.

It is alleged that Williams pushed his hands through the woman’s bedroom window and stole the tablet.

The matter was reported to the police and, based upon information received, Williams was arrested.
