Teen rode stolen cycle

A 16-year-old Sandys parish man pleaded guilty to knowingly riding a stolen motorcycle after colliding with an unmarked Police car.

Rahem Burgess told Magistrates' Court that he was riding the vehicle, but said that he did not steal it.

According to prosecutor Takiyah Burgess, the blue Suzuki was taken from outside Supreme Court on June 24.

However, the bike did not remain missing for long. The next day, the vehicle was involved in a collision with an unmarked police car.

Burgess reportedly fled the scene, but was later arrested at his job.

Mr. Warner ordered a social inquiry report, and ordered Burgess to return to court on October 13. He was released on $2,000 bail.
