A barber who admitted to breaking into a woman’s home and stealing her jewelry and cellular phone has been jailed for five years.
Tahid Hosein, 45, of Rochard Road, Barrackpore, was sentenced by Princes Town Senior Magistrate Rae Roopchand on a charge of house breaking and larceny.
Prosecutor Sgt Shazeed Mohammed said the 33-year-old housewife secured her home around 2.30 pm July 28 and went away. She later discovered her jewelry and cellphone valued $5,200 missing.
PC Kerron Ramkissoon conducted inquiries which led to Hosein’s arrest. Hosein admitted that he and a male relative broke into the house. However, he said all he got was a chain which was not real gold. None of the items was recovered.
