Old rims, tyres put thief in a spin

He didn’t think his employer would want the four rims and tyres he had taken since they had been placed with the old ones, said Rommell Ezekial Ash.

“But when he ask me for them, I did feel bad ’cause I didn’t expect he to sell them with the old things,” he told the District “A” Magistrates’ Court.

Ash, a 31-year-old labourer, of Infill, Haynesville, St James, pleaded guilty last Friday to stealing four rims and four tyres, totally valued at $2 080, belonging to Parts Plus Inc., some time between April 23 and May 5.

The previously convicted offender revealed he had been employed with the business for three years and was the handyman there. (HLE)
