vehicle on Bermuda's roads after pleading guilty to seven traffic offences in Magistrates' Court this week.

The court heard that Vaughn Sinclair Edwards of Loyal Hill was stopped by Police five times between July 28 and November 14, 1992. He was charged with driving while disqualified each time, having been taken off the road until May, 1994, for a previous offence.

Edwards also admitted issuing a false statement to Police on one occasion, and driving without due care and attention on another.

Edwards, who is currently incarcerated, was given a further nine months of corrective training in Casemates Prison in addition to his lengthened driving ban.

SOUTHAMPTON MAN WAS `LIVING ROUGH' CTS Southhampton man was `living rough' A Magistrates' Court duty counsel said yesterday that a 39-year-old Southampton man broke into several residences last summer because he suddenly found himself "homeless and penniless'' and "living rough on the streets''.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis ordered a social inquiry report on Vincent M. Pitt of South Road, who admitted the offences.

The court heard that Pitt entered four Southampton residences between May 5 and August 9 of last year, stealing $210 worth of goods.

Duty counsel Mr. Rod Attride-Stirling said the South Road resident was "living in an unstable situation'' at the time of the offences, having been thrown out of his step-father's home because of a family dispute.

Mr. Francis bailed Pitt and set a date for sentencing later this month.

BANK EMPLOYEE STOLE OVER $14,000 CTS Bank employee stole over $14,000 Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis yesterday ordered a social inquiry report on a former Bank of Bermuda employee who has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $14,000 in cash from the bank.

Dawn Marie Gibbons of Hamilton Parish admitted making a series of unauthorised withdrawals from two accounts between March 16 and November 20 last year, and making false entries on bank documents.

The 27-year-old mother of two asked the court to take an additional 14 counts into consideration.

Sgt. Earl Kirby, prosecuting, said Gibbons was employed as an administrator at the bank until she was fired on November 25. During an internal audit performed immediately after her dismissal, irregularities were discovered.

When Gibbons returned to the bank to collect personal belongings, Police were in attendance and she was taken to the Hamilton Station for questioning.

The Pearman Hill Road resident told Police she had taken the money to pay off personal debts, and said she "had every intention to repay the money''.

Sgt. Kirby said Gibbons has already made some restitutions to the bank, which corrected the balance discrepancies in the affected accounts.

Calling the charges "very serious indeed'', Mr. Francis said he would pass sentence on Gibbons later this month after studying the social inquiry.

SOCIAL REPORT FOR WARWICK TEEN CTS Social report for Warwick teen A social inquiry report has been ordered for a Warwick teenager who "borrowed'' $1,570 in stereo equipment from an acquaintance without asking, then neglected to return it because he feared retribution.

Shannon T. Easton faced charges of breaking, entering and theft in Magistrates' Court this week.

Easton entered Jason Ford's insecure Marl Lane residence on September 18, 1992, to borrow the stereo. When Ford did not show up, he took the equipment anyway.

Following inquires, Police attended Easton's Khyber Heights residence on November 26, and found the missing sound system.

Duty counsel Mr. Rod Attride-Stirling told Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis that Easton had used Ford's equipment before, and "thought he wouldn't object'' if he borrowed it.

A social inquiry report was ordered for Easton.
