A social inquiry report has been ordered on a Pembroke teenager who stole a bottle of rum from a MarketPlace grocery story.
Sixteen-year-old Dejaun Mitchell DeShield admitted the offence when he appeared at Magistrates' Court yesterday.
Prosecutor Koshea Scott said DeShield entered the Hamilton store around 8.50 a.m. on May 29 and was seen acting suspiciously by an employee, who alerted the manager.
DeShield paid for a soda before leaving the store. The manager, however, brought him back to the store and a bottle of Bacardi Gold Rum, priced at $19.60, was found in his backpack.
DeShield did not have a receipt for the liquor and was arrested by Police.
Acting Senior Magistrate Will Francis set bail at $500 with surety and ordered a social inquiry report.
DeShield will re-appear for sentencing on August 13.
