ACTING Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on Wednesday sentenced 18-year-old labourer Mark Sampson to 18 months imprisonment for break and enter and larceny.
Sampson appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to the charge, which read that during the month of April, 2019, at Kumaka Stretch, North West District, he broke and entered the home of Rayon Raymond and stole a $75,000 gold ring, along with a Guess watch worth $35,000.

Police Prosecutor Adduni Inniss told the court that Sampson was recently released from prison after serving a nine-month jail sentence for similar offences.
Sampson told the court that he executed the crime with another man, but he was only the “look out man,” while the other person went inside the house.
“The man tell me guard the house and see who coming,” the teen told the court; he explained that moments later the man came out from the house with the items and said, “we done cannon leh we make a spin.”

Sampson told the magistrate that he received $10,000 from the man for his part.
After sentencing Sampson the magistrate told him, “what you did was wrong,” as she reminded him that he is a repeat offender.
