A young man will be spending the next nine months behind bars after police managed to trace a call to the phone he stole during a burglary and found him with the stolen property.

Cleveland Alleyne, 23, admitted that on October 28, at Georgetown, he broke and entered Jerome Azore’s house and stole his cellular phone and laptop, valued $9,000 and $120,000, respectively.

The facts of the case are that on the day in question, at about 7.30am, Azore secured his house and went out. Upon his return at 5.30pm, he observed one of the windows broken and subsequently discovered the phone and laptop missing.

Prosecutor Michael Grant told the court that Azore then used another cell phone he had to call the missing phone,
