A plantain chip vendor will now spend the next three years behind bars after pleading with the court to be lenient on him for stealing a shotgun and cartridges from a security guard, an act which he described as “his opportunity” due to the man’s “unprofessional” and “careless” conduct.
Mewali Clark, 33, of Section ‘A’, Pattensen, Greater Georgetown, made his appearance before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Court One of the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court where he was charged with simple larceny.
According to the particulars of the charge, Clark on December 25 at Bel Air Avenue, Georgetown, stole one 12- gauge HDM Escobar shotgun valued at $350,000 and three cartridges worth $3,000 from Toussaint Williams, the property of Sheriff Security Service.
