Today, 48 year old Kenroy Coote was taken to court, charged for stealing a projector and a fan from All Saints Primary School.
He is accused of burglarizing the school on Sunday.
Today, the Police said crimes such as these impoverish the entire community.
ASP Fitzroy Yearwood, Police Press Officer
"Over the weekend we detained Kenroy Coote for a burglary at All Saints Primary School. We notice that many primary schools in the city have been targeted and Mr. Coote is no stranger to the law. He have been sent to jail on several occasions for burglary in the King's Park area. This report was made
last week Friday and Mr. Coote was detained over the weekend. We got back a projector that he stole from the classroom, but we are still waiting to get back a black Lasko fan that he also took out that classroom. The reason I am highlighting this is because we need to stop these people from depriving our children of the equipment that they need to get their education and when persons target these primary schools, they don't only affect the students, but they affect the community on a whole. So, hopefully Mr. Coote will be charged and arraigned today."
Today in court, Coote appeared before Magistrate Khiana Gordon in Court #2 where he was read a single charge of burglary. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, but the police Prosecutor objected heavily to bail, because he was just taken to court last week for another charge of burglary and was accused of this crime while out on bail for the prior allegation.
The Magistrate agreed and remanded Coote into custody until May 12, 2023.
