Landscaper admits chain, cash theft

After stealing a chain and cash from a prospective buyer, a Wildey landscaper advertised the stolen jewellery for sale online.

Now Jared Rohinho Powlett, 20, of Block 2A, Bottom Close, has been placed on $5000 bail by the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court No. 2 after pleading guilty to stealing a $2000 chain and $900 in cash belonging to Jeremiah Harewood on August 18.

Harewood, a jeweller, saw a chain on Facebook Marketplace that he liked and contacted the accused to ask its price, the court heard. After agreeing to meet, Harewood drove to Pine East-West Boulevard that same night, shortly after 7 p.m., to meet the seller.
