Wenty Williams, 53, of Cooks Hill has been sentenced to pay $2750 for a number of offences.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He pleaded guilty to breaking into the Fisheries complex at West Bus Station on July 25 and stealing items worth more than $1,000, plus $75 in cash. He was fined $1,275 for that charge in the St. John\u2019s Magistrates Court.<\/p>\n

Williams was also fined $975 and $500 after he admitted to malicious damage and breaking national curfew regulations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He was caught on camera damaging the burglar bars of the building, entering the property, apparently counting the cash and removing the money and the items.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While he was in police custody, the authorities executed a search warrant at his home and, instead of finding the stolen items, they discovered 17 cannabis plants. In addition to the theft, he was charged with unlawful possession of cannabis plants and cultivating said plants.<\/p>\n

Appearing before Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh yesterday, Williams was reprimanded for the possession of the plants and fined $600 for their cultivation.<\/p>
