A convicted thief will be confined behind the walls of Her Majesty\u2019s Prison for the next six months after he admitted to larceny of several cases of food items.<\/p>

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

Yesterday, Daren Buckley told the court that on January 16, 2021, he stole a case of corned beef, a case of Stayfree, a case of canned peas, and milk, amounting to $435.45.<\/p>\n

He also pleaded guilty to stealing three more cases of goods from the same individual, four days later. Those items were valued at $119.58<\/p>

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

In both instances, Buckley was caught on CCTV camera removing the items from a bus which the complainant had parked on St John\u2019s Street.<\/p>

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

He was observed stealing the items from the vehicle just after midnight on the days in question.<\/p>\n

After she realised that the items were missing, the complainant reviewed the camera footage, which she later took to the police station and made an official report.<\/p>

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

Buckley was subsequently arrested and charged.<\/p>\n

The court also heard that none of the stolen items had been recovered.<\/p>

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

Buckley also violated the curfew restriction to commit the offence, however, he was reprimanded and discharged for that complaint.<\/p>

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

Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh presided over the matter in the St John\u2019s Magistrates\u2019 Court yesterday.-DAILY OBSERVER<\/em><\/p>\n
