Grantley Dacosta Thorpe, 52, of Valley Land, St George, will be behind bars on remand at HMP Dodds until Friday after appearing before Acting Chief Magistrate Christopher Birch and pleading guilty to stealing 105 pounds of sweet potatoes worth $262 from Carrington Estates Limited, St Philip on April 11, 2016.

He also admitted stealing 20 rods of the same crop valued at $500 from Constant Plantation between March 8 and 9 and is expected to be sentenced on Friday
