A mention date was set in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday, in a matter in which a man is alleged to have stolen a number of items from a third-year medical student at the University Hospital of the West Indies.
Charged with simple larceny and malicious destruction of property is Kevin Thompson.
It is alleged that on the day of the incident, the accused stole a stethoscope, tuning fork, patella hammer, tape measure, hard drive and a Nokia cell phone, among a few other items valued at $10,000.
The police, acting on information that cars were being broken into at the hospital, intercepted a Lexus motor vehicle allegedly driven by the accused after a chase had ensued. A second man escaped from the vehicle.
The items were found and Thompson was subsequently charged. The matter has been set for mention on October 14.
