PORT ANTONIO, Portland:
FORTY-FIVE-YEAR-OLD DENZEL Clarke, who was charged with housebreaking and larceny arising from an incident which took place over the Easter weekend at a guesthouse in Portland, was sentenced to two years in prison.
The sentencing period was announced on Tuesday at the Port Antonio Resident's Magistrate Court.
Clarke stole a laptop and two cellular phones from a room which was believed to be occupied by a female friend of Peter Bunting, minister of national security.
The charge of burglary was reduced by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to a lesser charge of housebreaking and larceny in April.
Police sources say Clarke admitted that he broke through a window and stole the electronic gadgets, as he had fallen on hard times. He also reportedly told the police that he was sorry for committing the crime.
The laptop and two cellular phones were later recovered by the police, along with a number of currencies including US and Jamaican dollars.
