Suspended sentence for false stolen-car report
A Grand Court judge has sentenced a man to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, for falsely claiming his car, which was used in a robbery, had been stolen.
Police had chased down and stopped a grey Volvo after it was used in a robbery of an Esso gas station on Dorcy Drive, George Town, on 29 March 2022.
The following morning, Richard Lee Hydes, 45, the owner of the car, called police to report that it had been stolen from the mechanic’s shop where he had earlier left it to be repaired. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
