NASSAU- A thief granted clemency by the Governor General is back in prison for the same crime.
Brunaro Moxey was sentenced to five years in prison.
Moxey went back to his old ways, days after he was given a second chance.
Police arrested Moxey, 28, shortly after he stole a $50 jacket, $600 pair of Gucci shades and $83 in cash from a woman’s car on March 15. He trespassed on the woman’s Blair Estates property and took the items from an unlocked car.
In 2020, Moxey was sentenced to one year in prison for breaking into the then Minister of Health’s car and stealing his government issued phone.
Moxey has priors for housebreaking and theft.
Magistrate Rolle-Davis branded Moxey as a “common thief”.
Although the the pardon board thought Moxey was a proper candidate for early release, the magistrate said society needed to be protected from him.
He said, “Having been convicted on four occasions other than this conviction, the court is of the view according to the penal code, that the penalty should be doubled,” he said. “The court must protect society from this individual.”
