Seven teenagers are now on remand after admitting to several criminal offences, including breaking and entering into the official residence of the Chief Justice of Barbados.

The lone 16-year-old in the group will spend 28-days at Dodds prison while a 13-year-old and five 14-year-olds will be housed at the Government Industrial School for that same period.

The teenagers are accused of using several “cliques” to commit the offences between May 21 and June 16.

Three of them pleaded guilty to entering the home of Charles Carrington as trespassers and stealing a tablet, $275 in cash, three cellular phones, a bottle of wine, a stove lighter, a bottle of aftershave and one cork screw opener totalling $915.

They also admitted to entering Sir Marston Gibson’s official residence with intent to steal, while five of them said they damaged two billboards worth $4, 230 belonging to the Barbados Amateur Swimming Association.

Six teens plead guilty to entering the ABC Fitness Studio Inc and stole several drinks and snacks as well as a life cycle display panel totalling $2,596.25 belonging to the company. Four of them said they entered the same establishment on another date and stole several items including drinks, popcorn, a pair of leggings and five wrist bands totalling $683 belonging to Kenneth Griffith.

The prosecutor objected to bail for the teens based on the seriousness of the charges and for the protection of society, as well as that of the young offenders.

They will return to Court on July 17.
