A MAN was sent to Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre after he allegedly attempted to break into a gas station in Andros earlier this year.
He also allegedly stole $620 from his brother.
Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Ringle Gaitor, 44, with shopbreaking, unlawful entry and stealing.
Gaitor is accused of breaking into the San Andros Service Station on Queen’s Highway between July 17 and 18.
The defendant is alsoaccused of illegally entering the residence of Kern Gaitor on Elmore Drive at Mastic Point, and stealing $620 from his wallet on October 20.
While the accused pleaded guilty to the charges, he indicated to the court that he has a history of mental illness. He also told the magistrate that Kern Gaitor is his brother and said the two “steal from each other all the time”.
In view of this information, Magistrate Kelly ordered that the defendant be sent to Sandilands for psychological evaluation before he formally entered a plea.
Gaitor is expected to return to court on January 19, 2024, for a report.
