One week after fifty one year old Frank Conorquie was found guilty of stealing a lap top computer, today he was found guilty of a theft of a cell phone. Magistrate Sharon Frazer fined him one thousand, five hundred dollars and ordered him to pay his victim three hundred and fifty dollars in compensation.

Magistrate Frazer gave the accused until November sixteenth to compensate Helen Cuellar and on December fifteenth to pay the fine. If fifty one year old Frank Conorquie is unable to make the payments he will spend eighteen months at the Belize Central Prison. According to court reports the sentence is to run consecutively to any other sentence that he may be serving.

Last Monday the accused was unable to get anyone to sign a bond for the one thousand fine he was charged for stealing the lap top computer, the money he got after selling the equipment. Court reports are that the cell phone was stolen in October of last year. The victim testified that she gave the accused the phone to unlock but that he never returned it. Helen Cuellar had just gotten the cell phone as a birthday gift.

Bernard “Chucky” Gentle Charged for Robbing A 14 Year Old

A nineteen year old has been charged after he was accused of stealing a cell phone from a fourteen year old. Brandon Gentle aka Chucky and a resident of seventy one Taylor Alley reportedly committed the crime around seven thirty on the night of October twenty eight. The accused was also charged for the assault of a police officer that occurred when he escaped, a charge that Brandon Gentle denied.

Today in court Brandon Gentle pleaded not guilty to all charges and Magistrate Dorothy Flowers offered him bail in of four thousand dollars. The case has been adjourned until December ninth but Brandon Gentle was unable to meet his bail so he was remanded to prison.

Police Constable Jamille Scott reported that he was on Cemetery Road when he saw a robbery in progress at the corner of Cemetery Road and Euphrates Avenue. PC Scott said when he went to apprehend the suspect the suspect ran through Taylor’s Alley and escaped.

Then on November sixth, PC Scott told the court that while he was riding his motorcycle on Orange Street he saw the suspect and this time was able to apprehend him but Brandon Gentle ran through Taylor’s Alley and escaped after he pushed down the police constable. PC Scott did not give up however and pursued the fleeing suspect and finally caught up with him on Baghdad Street.
