29 year old Bernard Seawell and 29 year old Shelly Saragosa were read charges of two counts of theft and Seawell pleaded guilty before Magistrate Dale Cayetano, who fined him $300 on the first count and $200 on the second.

The guilty plea led to Saragosa’s charges being withdrawn.

On October 27, according to Francisco Camara, chief of security for the Santiago Castillo Group of Companies, a couple was caught on camera stealing from Bottom Dollar Store on North Front Street, an Enfamil premium baby milk and 2 Febreze car fresheners having a combined value of $42.

The couple got away before a security guard could apprehend them.

But having succeeded, they returned to try again, and on Monday November 10 to Bottom Dollar Store and stole one Magnum Tonic wine, valued at $4.50.

This time, they were apprehended and handed over to the police.

Seawell must pay the fines by January 31, 2015, in default concurrent sentences of six months in prison.
