Jermaine Josiah

A labourer was yesterday ordered to do four weeks of community service after he admitted to stealing a car battery.

The charge against Jermaine Josiah alleged that on May 7th, 2018, at Commerce Street, he stole a car battery, which was the property of Trevon Samuels.

Josiah pleaded guilty to the charge. He, however, claimed that he found the battery on the road around the Berbice car park and sold it for $500.
