A JUVENILE boy was remanded to Simpson Penn after he admitted to a carjacking.

Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux charged the 14-year-old male defendant, whose name is being withheld as he is a minor, with stealing and receiving.

The defendant is accused of stealing a silver coloured 2013 Toyota Passo valued at $6,000 from Willy Germain on August 17 in New Providence.

After the boy pleaded guilty to the stealing charge in the presence of his guardian, the receiving charge against him was withdrawn.

He was then remanded to the Simpson Penn Centre for Boys pending a probation report on November 23.
