Aikman’s Ex-Employee Pleads Guilty To Stealing Derek Aikman’s IPod

Luis Savery, 26, a former employee of former UDP Minister Derek Aikman, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft for stealing an IPod from Aikman, when he appeared yesterday in the #6 magistrate’s Court.

Magistrate Sharon Fraser fined him $1,000 and gave him until March 17 to pay. If he defaults on payment he will serve 1 year.

The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. last Saturday, February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day.

Aikman reported to the police that he was at his residence on the Burrell Boom Road and Savery was working in his yard. He said he asked Savery to get a machete from the house and Savery went inside and returned with the machete.

Aikman said that when he checked he discovered that his IPod valued at $700 was missing. Aikman told police that about two days after the incident he met Savery on the Burrell Boom Road and Savery admitted he stole the IPod.

According to Aikman, Savery offered to get the IPod and he drove Savery to Belize City but when Savery reached he got out of the vehicle and ran.

Police located Savery on Tuesday, February 16 and retrieved the IPod.
