A MAN was sentenced to three years in prison yesterday after  admitting to breaking into a bar and stealing $1,888 worth of property last December.

Magistrate Samuel McKinney charged Stephen Brown, 46, with shopbreaking. 

Brown broke into the Tipsea Bar on Village Road on December 27, 2023, and stole $1,888 worth of property, including a Samsung S21 phone, $200 in cash and 45 bottles of alcohol.

After pleading guilty to the charge, Brown was sentenced to three years at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. He was further ordered to fully financially reimburse the complainant or risk an additional month in prison.
