These people did not stumble upon some soursop and take them. How do you charge them $3,000 and hope that they do not do it again. How do those who suffered the loss get compensated. Praedial Larceny will destroy the country’s economy if it is not stopped.
To rob farmers is shameful, these thieves should be made to work for the farmers without pay to pay for their crime. Praise to the police for catching these criminals!
LOCK THEM ALONG WITH THE FINE THEY EACH SHOULD RECIEVE FIBE LASH OF THE CAT ONINE!! THEY WINT DO THAT AGAIN! WHERES JUDGE DUNCAN WHEN YOU NEED HIM.
