On Monday, November 2, 2026, the District ‘A’ Criminal Court No. 1 presided over by acting Magistrate Shakieda Sealy delivered a ruling in a local commercial theft case involving a 33-year-old resident of St Michael, Leron Alexander Wilfred Bennett of Quarry Road, Bank Hall. Bennett had entered a full guilty plea to one count of larceny related to unauthorized property theft from Massy Distribution, which took place on October 13 earlier that same month. Law enforcement records confirm that Bennett was taken into custody and formally charged shortly after the incident by officers assigned to the Black Rock branch of the Criminal Investigations Department. Beyond the 10-month custodial sentence handed down by the court, Bennett was issued a mandatory court order requiring him to pay $2,386.43 in full restitution to the affected distribution firm, to compensate for the total value of the goods he unlawfully removed. The case marks a recent enforcement action targeting internal and external retail supply chain theft in the region, with local judicial authorities emphasizing that penalties for workplace and commercial larceny will be strictly enforced to protect local business operations.
