Jailed thief absolves co-defendant

MARK July, 39, of Lot 164 Charlotte Street, Georgetown and Jomo Singh, 30, shared different fates yesterday when they appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson on a joint simple larceny charge.

Particulars of the offence said, on October 9, the duo stole items valued $365,000 from a container owned by Reeaz Khan.
