Three schoolboys are to be hauled back before the courts for sentencing after admitting their involvement in the theft or distribution of motorcycles earlier this year.

The 14-year-old and two 15-year-olds appeared in Juvenile Court accompanied by a parent.

The youngest boy, who is now being home-schooled, denied three counts of stealing motorcycles between February 8 and 11 this year, but pleaded guilty to three alternative charges of receiving bikes that he knew to be stolen.

One of the 15-year-olds pleaded not guilty to stealing one motorcycle, but guilty to receiving it, while knowing it was stolen.

And the third teenager pleaded guilty to each of the three counts of stealing.

Crown counsel Graveney Bannister offered no evidence in those charges where not guilty pleas had been entered.

The three, all from Pembroke, were released on bail to reappear before the court on June 26.

However, the second 15-year-old was told his bail did not count because he was being sent to the Sunshine League on remand after flouting his conditions of bail for an earlier offence of motorcycle theft.

He and the 14-year-old were in Juvenile Court last month charged with stealing two motorcycles in separate incidents earlier this year.

They were given bail on condition that they had 100 percent attendance at school and that they completed all homework until they were next due to appear in court yesterday.

While the young boy changed school and his ways, the father of the older boy said he had continued to skip school and had not brought any homework home.

When Magistrate Tyrone Chin asked the older boy why he had not been attending school, he answered: "I don't want to."

The boy's father said he was thinking of bringing in a qualified teacher to teach the boy during the summer break, but the court said it was not convinced that that would be the answer.

And while the two other boys apologised for their actions, the third said he had nothing to say, leading the panel to question the boys' attitude and remorse.

Mr. Chin ordered that the third boy go to Sunshine League and be escorted to school every day until the hearing resumes next month.

The case was adjourned.
