Two Kaduna teenagers arraigned for stealing sewing machine worth N325,000
Two teenagers, Simor Aaron, 19, and Francis David, 18, were arraigned on Wednesday before a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly stealing a sewing machine and other items worth N325,000.
The defendants, both residents of High-Cost Narayi, Kaduna, are standing trial on a two-count charge of conspiracy and stealing, to which they pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Inspector Chidi Leo, told the court that the defendants committed the offences on March 11 at Barnawa Kaduna.
According to Mr Leo, the duo burgled the tailoring shop of one Gladys Peter and stole her sewing machine, six wrappers, and four clothing materials valued at N325,000.
The prosecutor stated that the defendants were caught and handed over to the police by members of the vigilance group on patrol in the area.
Mr Leo said that the offences contravened Sections 281 and 217 of the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017, stipulating a three-year jail term for stealing and two years imprisonment for conspiracy.
The magistrate, Ibrahim Emmanuel, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N100,000 each with two sureties each in like sum, who must be gainfully employed.
Mr Emmanuel adjourned the case until April 22 for hearing.
