Breadfruit thief to spend time behind bars

A man who stole 22 breadfruits from popular roast breadfruit restaurant Yelluh Meat will spend the next three months in prison.

On Thursday, Steve Gordon Miller, 44, of no fixed place of abode, pleaded guilty before Magistrate Alsion Burke to stealing the produce as well as bottles between June 20 and July 10.

Prosecutor Ralph Rollock told the District ‘A’ Traffic Court that the complainant, Kim Hamblin, is the co-owner of Yelluh Meat Breadfruit located along Black Road Main Road, St Michael. Hamblin usually stores drink cases filled with empty bottles and breadfruits in a shed next to the kitchen of the establishment. Between the mentioned dates he discovered items were missing and on checking the CCTV footage, saw Miller removing the items from the shed on different days.

The culprit was subsequently arrested and charged.
