A WOMAN was ordered to do 200 hours of community service after admitting to stealing over $1,000 from Starbucks in Marina Village while she was working there last month.

Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Kennesha Butcher, 23, with stealing by reason of employment.

Butcher reportedly stole $1,123.70 from Starbucks in Marina Village during her employment there between December 1 and 12, 2023.

After admitting to the offence, Ms Butcher was granted a conditional discharge. In addition to compensating her former employer, she must also attend 200 hours of community service. Defaulting on these conditions would result in a one-month prison term at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.

Butcher must return to court for a report on March 22.
