Greenbay man sentenced to 10 months

By Zaya Williams

Jermaine Thomas, a resident of Green Bay Hill, has been sentenced to 10 months in His Majesty’s Prison after pleading guilty to charges of breaking, entering and larceny and malicious damage

The sentencing took place in court on Wednesday, following a brazen break-in at E-Bike Tours located at the intersection of Cross and Nevis Streets.

The incident occurred on the night of August 29, when Thomas forcibly entered the E-Bike Tours premises.

According to court records, he broke the padlock on the burglar bars and shattered a glass pane with a stone to gain access to the store.

Once inside, Thomas proceeded to steal several items, including an orange YISO Electronic Bike valued at $4000, a cash register worth $500, and approximately $500 in cash.

In addition to the theft, Thomas caused damage to the business establishment during the break-in.

The entire incident was captured on the store’s security cameras.

The court handed down a sentence of 10 months imprisonment for breaking and entering, along with a 6-month sentence for malicious damage.

The judge ordered these sentences to run concurrently.

    Ten years for theft and zero years for killing people? What a wicked upside down system. Look many murderers walking the streets of Antigua and Barbuda. And you telling me that you sent a man to jail for 10 years for stealing a bike…WAW

    Here we go again. Another slap on the wrist. Why shouldn’t the sentences be served consecutively instead if concurrently? Further the young criminal should be sentences to a work program with his payments going directly to the store management/owners to repair their building and pay for any and all losses or damage incurred.

    I hope this lightens a path for every young person with the intention to break into stores and homes! Maybe this will be the best course of action for change! Start to rethink right now. Would I risk my little life for a whatever or would I work hard for the whatever?
