Bike thief gets six months after compensation bargain fails

A 20-year-old mason who admitted to stealing a bicycle was yesterday sentenced to six months in jail after he failed to convince the owner to allow him to work for him in order to repay him for the theft.

The charge against John Cameron stated that on June 8th, 2019, at North Road, Bourda, he stole a bicycle, valued $22,500, from Marlon Walcott.
