WATCH: Surveillance footage of jet ski theft from a home at Old Fort Bay
NASSAU-A magistrate jailed a man who stole a jet ski from a home at Old Fort Bay.
Police caught Tyrese Boodle, 20, with the stolen Yamaha jet ski at Goodman’s Bay, the court heard.
Boodle, a jet ski operator, told investigators that he went to Andy Landsky’s home by jet ski, followed by two others.
Boodle said they used a rope to pull the jet ski, worth $13,500, from the owner’s deck. However, his accomplices remain at large.
Surveillance cameras captured the theft.
Boodle pleaded guilty to stealing at his arraignment before Senior Magistrate Derence Rolle-Davis.
Defence lawyer Alex Morley asked the court to consider community service instead of a prison sentence.
In sentencing Boodle to one year in prison, Magistrate Rolle-Davis said that he did not deserve the maximum of seven years; however, he could not “go unscathed.”
The magistrate said he hoped that Boodle would be rehabilitated in prison.
