Seven Years And He Didn’t Even Steal A Fry
posted (July 3, 2013)
It's the most famous fry chicken shop in the city – and yesterday a man broke into Li Chee. Even though he didn't even steal a French fry, today, his justice was served up faster than a three dollars breast with steak sauce on the side!

45 year-old John Hoy, a laborer of mile 12 and a half miles on the Western Highway, is spending the first night of a 7 year sentence after he was convicted of burglary before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer.

The owner of Li Chee Restaurant on Freetown reported that at around 1:50 yesterday afternoon, he heard a loud noise. He checked and found Hoy inside. He stopped Hoy from stealing anything, and police arrested and charged him with Burglary.

He wasted no time and pleaded guilty to the charge, saying that he did it because he was hungry. After considering all the factors, Senior Magistrate Frazer sentenced him to serve 7 years in prison. Hoy has several convictions for drug-related offences.
