A St Augustine man will serve 100 days’ in jail for stealing his neighbour’s chickens.
Richard Samlal, 19, of Stratham Lodge Road, was sentenced by Magistrate Wendy Dougdeen-Bally at the Tunapuna Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He pleaded guilty to the offence.
Samlal was charged on Sunday by WPC Romain of the Tunapuna Police Station following an investigation into a report of stolen chickens made by his neighbour on February 1, 2021.
The victim reported that at 5pm of January 31, 2021, he secured his ten chickens in two pens and went away.
He gave no one permission to remove them.
During the investigation, video footage was obtained and Samlal was identified as one of four suspected perpetrators as his face was the only one unmasked.
The other three suspects are yet to be identified.
