The Superior Court has imposed a 30-day prison term on one of two brothers who were caught on a surveillance camera stealing two flat screen TV sets and several towels from a hotel in western Garapan.
Associate Judge Perry B. Inos sentenced Vincent C. Reyes to two years in prison, all suspended except for 30 days, for theft, with credit for the 11 days he had already served in jail.
The 21-year-old Reyes will start serving the rest of his sentence on July 5, 2011 at 8am.
After completing the prison term, Reyes will be placed on three years of supervised probation. He was required to pay a $500 fine, and $400 in restitution to Hanamitsu Hotel and Spa. He is also required to perform 200 hours of community service.
The Office of the Attorney General had charged Reyes with theft, and conspiracy to commit theft. He pleaded guilty to theft as part of a plea deal. The remaining charge was dropped.
Vincent Reyes and his brother, Derik C. Reyes, stole two 32-inch flat screen TV sets and towels from Hanamitsu Hotel and Spa on March 29, 2011.
The case against Derik Reyes is pending in court.
Detective Buddy Igitol stated in his report that Derik Reyes had made reservations at Hanamitsu Hotel and Spa and later checked in with his girlfriend.
The surveillance camera captured the brothers rushing out the backdoor of the hotel the following afternoon, March 29. The two were seen carrying out an object covered with white towels. They fled on a Nissan Altima with license plate ACH-864.
The hotel’s housekeeping staff discovered while cleaning rooms 203 and 204 that two TV sets were missing, along with several towels.
