JAIL TERM IMPOSED FOR THEFT OF CYCLE CTS Jail term imposed for theft of cycle A 17-year-old was sentenced to six months in prison this week after pleading guilty to stealing a Honda livery cycle worth $450.

Keto Masters, of Christopher Close, Devonshire pleaded guilty to stealing a cycle when he appeared in Magistrates' Court with Lynn Burrows, 21, of Rings Court, Warwick, who pleaded guilty to allowing himself to be carried on the back of the cycle which he knew was stolen.

Police prosecutor Sgt. John Dale said the bike was stolen from Happy Valley Road in Pembroke on July 25.

A plain clothes Police officer saw Masters and Burrows riding the bike on July 29 on Horseshoe Road in Southampton, Sgt. Dale said.

Burrows got off the bike and was arrested. But Masters drove to Sunnyside Park, Southampton where he abandoned the bike and hid until Police discovered him in the bushes a short time later.

Magistrate the Wor. Edward King said "cycle thefts need to be stamped out'' before sentencing the two men.

Burrows was sentenced to three months in prison which was suspended for two years.

Masters was released on bail to appeal his sentence.

MAN BULLIED TEENAGE GROCERY PACKER CTS Man bullied teenage grocery packer A man who bullied a 13-year-old grocery packer into handing over his $10 earnings was branded a robber in Magistrates' Court this week.

Anthony Dillworth, 18, of Middle Road Southampton pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of intimidation. He also pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to possessing a knife.

But Magistrate the Wor. Edward King told him he should have been charged with robbery.

"This was stealing. You used violence to threaten a man. The definition in law is that this was robbery. You should have been charged with robbery,'' he said.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Kenrick James argued that the charge was reduced because of the amount involved.

Earlier he told the court that 13-year-old Omar Smith who worked at White and Sons Ltd. supermarket, was on his way home when he spotted Dillworth and others harassing another youth at the bus stop.

Smith hid to avoid the gang but he was spotted and surrounded by the men who started punching him and demanding money.

Smith handed over $5 and then another $5 when Dillworth pressed him for more.

Police later found a knife in Dillworth's possession.

In court, Dillworth protested he was "just joking''.

"I was just joking with him but he thought I was intimidating him.'' But he admitted keeping $5.

Mr. King ordered a social inquiry report before sentencing on the intimidation charge. He fined Dillworth $450 for possession of an offensive weapon.

Frank V. Simmons, 31, of North Shore Road, pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to possessing cannabis and driving an unlicensed motor cycle.

Police prosecutor Sgt. John Dale said on May 25 narcotics officers -- who were acting on information they had received -- approached Simmons on Court Street.

A brown paper twist containing plant material was found in Simmons' pocket which he said was "weed''.

Sgt. Dale said Simmons then told the officers: "That's all I have.'' He was released on bail and the plant material was later analysed as .24 grams of cannabis.

Earlier in May, Police stopped Simmons while he was driving a blue Yamaha with out a license.

The incident occurred on May 11 at the corner of Union and Court streets, Sgt.

MAN GETS A SUSPENDED SENTENCE CTS Man gets a suspended sentence A 39-year-old unemployed man, who burgled a house for cash to buy drugs, received a two-year suspended prison sentence this week.

Police prosecutor Sgt. John Dale told Magistrates' Court that a Southampton resident saw a light go on outside of her room on August 26.

The woman told Police that the light could only be turned on from inside her apartment so she went to investigate and discovered Brian Jones standing outside the door of her apartment.

Jones, who lives at the Salvation Army shelter on Parsons Road, Pembroke, was rummaging through a red bag that had previously been inside the apartment, said Sgt. Dale.

The lady asked him what he was doing and he ran away. Jones was arrested a short time later and the bag was recovered.

Jones admitted he had entered the apartment through an unlocked door and was looking through the bag for cash. He also said he had a drug problem and wanted help.

Magistrate the Wor. Edward King asked Jones why he had not gone and looked for help if he knew he had a problem.

Jones replied that he had and was now in an in-house programme at Salvation Army. He said he had also contacted Probation Services.

Mr. King sentenced Jones to nine months in prison, suspended for two years.
