The court heard that the owner secured his business place on Saturday night and at about 10 pm the defendant is said to have climbed on top of the building and entered through a space in the roof. He then took the items out of the fridge and escaped through a window.

Gibson explained that he only took the drinks to satisfy his thirst, “Well I mostly tek dem fo ah drink,” Gibson said.

Chief Magistrate Simone Churaman, took account of Gibson’s 24 previous convictions of a similar nature and found it fit that a custodial sentence be imposed on him.
