Cellphone Thief Gets Nine Months In Prison
Steve Wright, of a Corporate Area address, who was charged with larceny as a servant after he stole a blackberry phone from his employer, was sentenced (in absentia) in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday to nine months at hard labour.
Wright had previously appeared before the court, and promised to return the instrument. He however failed to deliver it to the complainant, and did not return to court for sentencing. A bench warrant for his arrest was ordered, and he was sentenced to nine months imprisonment.
