A MAN was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday after he admitted to stealing cash in a housebreaking in Andros late last year.

Ambrose Gibson, 35, appeared before Magistrate Samuel McKinney on charges of burglary, stealing and receiving.

On September 17, 2022 in Andros, Gibson broke into the home of Brandon Henley and stole $80 in cash.

In his latest court appearance, the accused reversed his earlier position and pleaded guilty to the burglary and stealing charges. As a result the receiving charge was withdrawn.

The magistrate then sentenced Gibson to two years at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services for burglary. He also received a six-month sentence for the stealing charge, to be served concurrently.
