Youth jailed for stealing jewellery from women

An unemployed St Michael youth was sentenced to 24 months in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to stealing jewellery from three women in 2023.

Magistrate Manila Renee ruled in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court that the sentences of Oramile Holder, 27, of Cumberbatch Road, Black Rock, will run concurrently, with a deduction for time already spent on remand. She did not say how long that remand period was.

Holder was charged with stealing one bangle valued at $600, belonging to Doriel Medford, on December 2, 2023; a chain valued at $650 from Yvonnett Kimon on October 25, 2023; and two bangles worth $1 000, the property of Jacqueline Green Mayers, on November 18, 2023.
