Roy Singh, a gardener of West Berbice, pleaded guilty to the allegation that on February 11, last, at David Street, Kitty, he stole a Nokia cellular phone valued at $15,000 from Amzad Hussein.
Singh told the court that he informed the arresting officers that he took the phone and sold it for $15,000 to an employee of Jerries Snackette.
