A carjacker, who made off with a $2.7 M car, minutes after a customer went into a city Pharmacy to purchase some tablets, was jailed for three years yesterday.
Reports are that after Ijah Byron stole Annicee Phoenix’s car on Camp Street last Friday, he was pursued by cops through the city and intercepted in Kitty.
It was three days after the daring July 18 robbery that Byron appeared in the city court before Magistrate Faith McGusty to answer to the charge of Simple Larceny.
Responding to the charge, the man stated, “I did thief the car.”
Recapping the events of the theft, Police Prosecutor Corporal Seon Blackman stated that the car owner’s brother went to a Camp Street Pharmacy to purchase some tablets.
As the man exited the Pharmacy, he saw the car being driven away and immediately notified police of the theft. Police ranks gave chase and managed to corner the driver at Thomas and Lamaha Streets, Kitty.
According to Blackman, Byron was then arrested and charged.
Responding to his plea, Magistrate McGusty, who considered that he did not waste the court’s time, sentenced him to three years’ imprisonment.
