However, his attempts failed after he was confronted by the holder of a licensed firearm, Brain Macintosh.
“He stopped to talk to someone on the phone and I saw the unusual behavior because he was coming and going to the car and then I saw him with an object breaking the back glass, so I left my vehicle came around the corner and literally pulled him out of the car and he wanted to fight…but to imagine that an old man at this age breaking into people’s car and breaking their vehicle up.”
The 60 – year – old man was later identified as Walter Campbell of 18 Walter Street, Georgetown. Campbell would have gotten away with cash and important documents that belonged to Roy Sierra.
“I parked my car here and I just went to GT&T to pay a bill and I came back and see everybody standing around my car and was told by this man that this guy broke into my car…I had a whole lot of valuable in my car thank God for these people here.”
The police were quickly summoned and took the elderly man into custody. He then placed before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The father of four was remanded on two charges. He pleaded not guilty to damage to property and attempt to commit a felony charges.
The court heard that on January 27 at Church and Carmichael Streets, with intent to commit a felony, Campbell broke the right-side glass of Roy Secerio’s motorcar, registered PLL1869.
The damage to property charge read to him was in relation to the said right-side glass which cost $35,000.
Attorney-at-Law George Thomas represented Campbel and said that his client had no prior charges and was not a flight risk.
He told the Court that at no time was his client in the car. The lawyer asked for reasonable bail. The Prosecutor objected, however, based on the nature, gravity, prevalence of the offences and the penalties they attract.
He said too that the defendant has other matters against him. Bail was refused and the matter will be called again on February 6.
That man is a old thief, he like to go in people car trunk, i new him for years living in Buxton ,he is a car trunk thief ,they should lock him up and through away the keys.
This Guy is a known thief for more than two decades. He is a known trunker more than 20 years ago. He used to hang out with a whole set of thieves/trunkers by GPO/GTM/NBIC/GBTI. His road name is Puppy. I am amazed he is still around and was never charged. He is a total menace to society, he never worked a decent life. He used to live at Bagotstown/Providence area. Jail him for life.
