A man accused of trespassing on the property of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) and committing several offences there, was taken before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court again, to answer to charges of simple larceny and malicious destruction of property.

The accused man is 32-year-old Steve Clarke from Boise Content, St Catherine.

The allegations are that between May 3 and 4, the complainant parked his car on the compound. He returned to find the pivot window broken and his car radio, which values $14,000, missing. Clarke was later identified as the perpetrator and his fingerprints were reportedly found at the scene.

The court was told yesterday that the accused frequents the JDF compound and has been convicted four times before on charges stemming from incidents that took place there. The court was also told that the accused had received suspended sentences before.

The accused's lawyer, however, said the accused complains that everything that happens on the compound is blamed on him.

The matter returns to court on November 24.
