Well known thief back in Dodds for two years

Career thief Dale Andrew White is back at Her Majesty’s Prison Dodds just weeks after he was released.

This time the 46-year-old, of no fixed place of abode, will spend two years in prison for committing three offences which he described as not “real serious”. His latest crimes pushed to 62 the number convictions he has accumulated and now has on record.

Magistrate Manila Renee made the ruling today after the well-known convict pleaded guilty to stealing $10 belonging to Pauline Barrow between June 14 and 16; and being a reputed thief he loitered on the premises of Oaziah Layne and Richard Barrow between June 15 and 16.

Station Sergeant Cameron Gibbons told the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court that in all three cases the complainants secured their vehicles, left them intact and returned the next day to find it ransacked.

In Barrow’s case the money was taken but Layne and Richard Barrow found the vehicles in disarray but nothing had been taken.

White was arrested and admitted to the offences.

“I just a thief. I don’t take advantage of the situation,” explained White who told the Magistrate he did not “really” have a drug problem.

“You can put me on a bond,” said the convict who also revealed that he had been out of jail now between one and two months.

Magistrate Renee imposed the two-year sentences to run concurrent which apparently surprised White.

“This ain’t no real serious charges ma’am. Two years . . . for just a little offence. Up there real hard,” he said before he was escorted out of court.
