Maria Ja­cob, 39, of Be­ju­cal Road, Cunu­pia was sen­tenced to two years’ hard labour af­ter plead­ing guilty to a rob­bery charge.

She re­ceived the sen­tence dur­ing a vir­tu­al ap­pear­ance be­fore Mag­is­trate Ra­jen­dra Ram­bachan at the Ch­agua­nas Mag­is­trates’ Court ear­li­er to­day.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, around 8 pm on Febr­yary 18th, the vic­tim left her hand­bag con­tain­ing $15,000 in her car which was parked and se­cured in the dri­ve­way of her home.


She re­turned around 10.30 am the fol­low­ing day and ob­served the dri­ver’s door par­tial­ly opened. Fur­ther checks re­vealed that the en­tire ve­hi­cle was ran­sacked and the cash miss­ing from the hand­bag. En­quiries were con­duct­ed by the Ch­agua­nas Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment (CID) lead­ing to the ar­rest of the sus­pect by PC Kur­jah.
