A MAN was placed on 12 months probation after admitting to trying to steal $566 worth of property from a department store earlier this week, including two mannequins.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Tanario McKenzie, 34, with attempted stealing.
McKenzie reportedly tried to steal a male and female mannequins and an assortment of clothes from Muck-A-Mucks clothing store on Baillou Hill Road on February 13. The items in this botched theft have a total value of $566.
