A man who pleaded guilty to the charge of larceny has been sentenced to six months behind bars.
Philbert Cush, on Wednesday appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates Court before Magistrate Rhondel Weever where the charge of simple larceny was read to him.
According the evidence presented, the virtual complainant, Denise Hilliman, and Cush are known to each other. Hillman had asked the defendant to paint a door at her residence at Lot 11 Lamaha Park Squatting Area, Georgetown, which he agreed to.
She then placed her phone behind the aforementioned door and stepped out for a few minutes.
She later returned to check on the task, however Cush was no longer there. She then made several checks and discovered that the article mentioned in the charge was missing.
A report was made to the police station and the defendant was later arrested and told of the allegation. Under caution, he admitted to the offence and he was later placed into custody and charged for the offence.
