A 16-year-old boy was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting to attempting to break into a shop on Robinson Road.
The teenage defendant, whose name is being withheld because he is a minor, tried to break into I-Cart Bahamas Shop on January 29.
He allegedly caused $880 worth of damage to rear windows and hatches at the premises belonging to Janovia Frazier.
While the juvenile admitted to the shop-breaking charge, he denied the damage charge before Senior Magistrate Algernon Allen Jr.
His co-accused, another 16-year-old boy, denied both charges.
The damage charge was withdrawn against both minors.
The first boy was ordered to spend 18 months at the adolescent unit of the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
The second boy was granted $6,000 bail with one or two sureties and must obey a 5pm to 7am daily curfew.
The matter returns to court on February 24.
The defendants’ guardians were present for their arraignment.
Sergeant 3004 Forbes was the prosecutor.
