Giving his reason for stealing over $5 million in gold jewellery as having “nothing,” and claiming that he returned all of it to a police officer, a West Coast Demerara (WCD) youth has since been sentenced to four years behind bars after pleading guilty to a simple larceny charge.
The charge against 19-year-old Vikki Ganga, of Jetty Squatting Area, WCD, states that between January 25 and March 3, at Lodge, Georgetown, he stole from the dwelling house of his employer, one 23 karat gold bangle valued at $3 million, a gold and diamond chain valued $2 million, one 9-piece gold nugget set worth $1.8 million and $100,000 cash.
