A MAN was fined $250 yesterday after he admitted to attempting to steal a woman’s car battery last week.

Justin Gibson, 26, appeared before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt- Evans on a charge of attempted stealing.

On March 3 on Carib Road, Gibson was caught trying to steal Collinsya Stubb’s car battery, which was valued at $158.80.

In court, the accused pleaded guilty to the charge. In view of this, Magistrate Vogt-Evans fined Gibson $250 for the offence. The accused was further bound over to keep the peace for one year. If he violates this, he faces a two-month prison term.
