Man jailed for stealing windows from business

A Martindales Road man has been sentenced to one year in prison after admitting to stealing windows from a nearby business.

Tramane Michael Stuart, 30, of Campaign Land, pleaded guilty to stealing four windows valued at $1 640 from Kara’s Trading at 8th Ave Belleville on May 21 .

The No. 2 District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court heard that staff left several sash windows in a lot surrounded by wooden pallets. The following day, four were discovered missing, and CCTV footage identified Stuart as the thief. He was brought into custody and admitted to the offence.

Magistrate Manila Renee ordered Stuart, who has four previous convictions, the most recent in 2025 for drug and theft offences, to serve a one-year term of imprisonment.
