A man was sentenced to four months in prison last Friday after admitting to stealing a cellphone that he borrowed for a phone call.

Faizal Mohammed admitted to the charge that he stole the phone, valued $250,000, from Davanand Rampaul on September 18th at Regent Street, Georgetown. 

He admitted his guilt immediately after the charge was read to him by Senior Magistrate Leron Daly in a city court.
