MONTEGO BAY, St James — A mother will be forced to sell her prized hog to reimburse the victim of her son's crimes after the teenager admitted in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's court last week to house breaking and larceny.
Eighteen-year-old Rado Gayle of a Moore Park, St James address told the court he saw the complainant's door open and he wanted a DVD player so he went inside.
A portion of the things he stole, valued at over $68,000 was recovered and the complainant told the court she would be happy to be compensated. She told the court that the things that were still missing were valued at approximately $5,000.
Gayle's mother who was in court told her son that she would have to go "sell the hog and pay back the lady."
The court heard that between November 23 and 24, Gayle went to the complainant's house and removed a number of things including Nintendo games, 64 DVDs, three remote controls, a blower dryer, an extension cord, colognes, 50 CDs, two joy sticks and a quantity of food including rice, flour and sugar as well as a kitchen knife.
A report was made and Gayle was held. He took the police to a house where most of the things were recovered.
Gayle was offered bail in the sum of $50,000 and the judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation before he returns to court on February 24 next year.
