Man pleads guilty to stealing almost $700 worth of deodorant from Massy Social Share
After stealing nearly $700 worth of deodorant from Massy Supermarket, a 51-year-old put an end to years of keeping his hands clean.
Clint Lockhart of Rose Place pleaded guilty at the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, to stealing 37 Gillette gel roll-ons from the Kingstown store, worth $691.95EC.
He has a criminal record but all of his previous convictions occurred so long ago that they are considered spent, and not considered by the court in sentencing him.
This Saturday, January 23, Lockhart was observed by a Loss Prevention Officer employed with Massy, named Trimmingham. The 51-year-old was behaving in a fidgety manner.

Lines were forming outside two major supermarkets in Christ Church on Wednesday morning as shoppers tried to get ahead of the new restrictions set to go into effect in February.
At Massy Oistins, the line was just outside the entrance to the former CIBC FirstCaribbean bank when the Nation team visited. They were social distancing and people appeared to be wearing masks.
A line was also forming outside Popular Kendal Hill where people were standing in the rain waiting their turn to shop. Unlike former runs on that supermarket when the line stretched down the hill, shoppers are queuing at the side of the building, so it does not appear as congested as in the past.
