A MAN was sentenced to two and a half years in prison after he admitted to breaking into his neighbours’ house and stealing $154.61 worth of property last week.

Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Dennis Darville, 51, with housebreaking, stealing and receiving.

Darville broke into the home of Colin Humes on Heathfield and Augusta Streets on the night of August 1 and stole $154.61 of Mr Humes’s property.

After Darville pleaded guilty to the housebreaking and stealing charges, the receiving charge against him was withdrawn. The defendant was sentenced to two and a half years at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services and informed of his right to appeal the court’s judgement.
