Youth stages bicycle theft

Staging a theft cost a Sidney youth his part-time job, $740 and
besmirched an otherwise blameless reputation, Judge Lawrence
Brahan noted in Sidney provincial court March 28.

The youth, 15, pleaded guilty to theft under $1,000 and was
sentenced to six months probation and 50 hours community work
SE€TVice.

Crown counsel Ed Ormheim said the young man stole a $740
bicycle from a store where he was employed part-time, cutting a
padlock to make it appear the theft was the result of a break-in,

The youth cooperated with police in recovering the bicycle and
has no previous history.

Defence lawyer Mayland McKimm said the youth staged the
theft to prove to his friends such a theft could be done but had no
use for the bicycle since he already owned a bicycle. The youth
planned to retum the bicycle to the store but found the bicycle had
been stripped of parts by his friends.

The youth paid the store owner for the bicycle and returned the
bicycle, gathering the missing parts from friends and! assembling
the bicycle, McKimm said.

Although offered the bicycle, since he had already paid for it, the
youth refused, MckKimm added.

Impaired driver gets jail

A third impaired driving conviction sent Benjamin Arsenault of
Sidney to jail for 14 days after he pleaded guilty to impaired
driving and refusing to provide a breathalyzer sample.

Arsenault, 33, was checked by police outside a Sidney pub just

before midnight January 5 and warned not to drive, crown counsel

Edward Ormheim said in Sidney provincial court March 28.
Spotted later by police, he was stopped at which time he refused
to provide a breath sample.
In addition to the jail sentence, Judge Lawrence Brahan
suspended Arsenault’s driver’s license for 12 months.

Impaired driver hits cop car

An impaired driver stopped by police on the Pat Bay Highway
near McDonald Park Road backed into the police car, crown
counsel Edward Ormheim said in Sidney provincial court March
28.

Shelly May Cole, 19, of Ladysmith pleaded guilty to impaired
driving. She explained she had gone out with a girlfriend, giving
her car keys to the friend, but had received her keys back when the
friend left with some other people.

Judge Lawrence Brahan fined Cole $300 and suspended her
drivers’ licence for 12 months.

High reading brings higher fine

A 58-year-old Victoria man was fined $450 in Sidney provincial
court March 21 after he pleaded guilty to impaired driving.

Gaza Nagy pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol
reading over .08 per cent. He had breathalyzer readings of .20 and
.18 per cent.

Crown counsel Edward Ormheim said Nagy was stopped Oct.
15 after police noted his vehicle travelling slowly and weaving
from lane to lane while northbound on the Pat Bay Highway north
of Mt. Newton Crossroad.

Judge Ralph Hudson also suspended Nagy’s licence for 12
months.

Senior shoplifter fined for eye drops

A 72-year-old Sidney man was fined $50 in Sidney provincial
court after he pleaded guilty to taking a $6.19 bottle of eye drops
from a Sidney drug store.

Edward Kenneth Gukieri took the eye drops because he was
suffering from an eye irritation and did not have enough money to
purchase the medicine, Judge Ralph Hudson was told in Sidney
provincial court March 21.

Money faken as
woman gardened

An unlocked side door was used
by a thief to enter the home of an
elderly lady who was in her Fifth
Street yard doing some gardening
Thursday morning.

Once inside, the thief took mon-
ey and credit cards from the home-
owner’s purse, then left the home
through the front door as the
woman returned inside through the
side door.

Sidney RCMP warn residents
that all doors and windows must
be secured even if the residents are
outside the property gardening or
doing other chores.
