Three young men will each spend the next 36 months in prison, after being found guilty for breaking into the home of a police officer while he was hospitalized for Covid-19.

They are Tarique Kerr, 18, and 20-year-olds Rayon Flanders and Remy Fuentes, all of North Eastern Settlement, Sangre Grande.

The Special Reserve Officer was discharged from the Couva Hospital last Friday, only to find that his home in Sangre Grande had been broken into.

The trio stole a quantity of items, including the officer’s bullet proof vest and police hat.  Also missing was a 42″ LG television, Sony DVD player and a tool box. 

All of the items were recovered after conducting a search of the men’s homes.
