A 59-year-old man has been sentenced to serve the next eighteen months in prison after confessing to the crimes of burglary and theft.<\/p>

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

James Philip acknowledged his involvement in stealing items worth more than two thousand dollars from a snackette in Gambles back in April.<\/p>\n

Approximately a month later, law enforcement apprehended him while he was hiding in a bathroom following a break-in at Papa Zouk Restaurant, which was located in the same vicinity.<\/p>

During the trial, the court was presented with evidence from the snackette’s surveillance camera, which captured the thief’s movements during the initial offense.<\/p>

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

Philip, who had previous records of similar crimes, informed Chief Magistrate Joanne Walsh that he committed these offenses due to his hunger.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he pleaded guilty to the charge of causing deliberate damage to Papa Zouk’s alarm system.<\/p>
