Mahase Persaud was slapped with a two-year jail term when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts before Magistrate Faith McGusty charged with two counts of breaking and entering and larceny.
He pleaded guilty to both charges when they were read to him.
He admitted that between November 28 and November 29, 2016, at the National School of Dance, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, he stole items amounting to G$432,000.
Also at the same location but between November 1 and December 1, 2016, he admitted that he stole one DVD Player, one surround sound stereo system, half a bale of toilet paper and other items.
According to the prosecution, the defendant confessed to the offences. When given a chance to speak, Persaud asked for a minimum sentence.
He was given 12 months each on both charges which are to be run concurrently.
