The Most Expensive Box Of Biscuits Ever
posted (September 3, 2010)
Fifty year old bottle vendor Melvin Swift was not successful in his new profession of a thief which he seems to have taken up yesterday.

Around 1:09 pm yesterday Swift went into Save-U Supermarket and stole two boxes of crackers and put them in his pants pocket. He was seen in the act on the supermarket's surveillance cameras and the security guard, Albert Crawford was alerted.

Swift was stopped and searched by Crawford and the boxes of crackers which cost a total of seventeen dollars were retrieved.

Swift pleaded guilty to theft when he appeared today in the #2 Magistrate's Court. Because he had no previous conviction, Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser fined him five hundred dollars and gave him until October 31 to pay. If he defaults on payments he will serve six months.
