THREE Grand Bahama men were charged in the Freeport Magistrate’s Court yesterday in connection with a break-in at the Solomon’s Wholesale store, where over $50,000 was stolen from a bank ATM machine.

Appearing before Deputy Chief Magistrate Debbye Ferguson were Jermaine Moss, 35, of Deadman’s Reef, Grand Bahama; Renard Fulford, 33; and Kenny Patstille, 26, both of Eight Mile Rock, Grand Bahama.

Moss, a father of four, pleaded guilty to all five charges against him in connection with the break-in, including shop breaking, stealing, causing damage, and two counts of possession of proceeds of criminal conduct. He was sentenced to five years and four months in prison.

On Friday, June 14, at Freeport, an employee of Solomon’s at Queen’s Highway arrived to work and discovered damage to the store in the amount of $27,160. It was also discovered that someone had removed the First Caribbean International Bank ATM valued at $40,000, and had stolen $51,210 of mixed Bahamian currency from it.
