The court heard that on February 18 last year, between 6:45 am and 11:26 pm, Elibox stole chickens and eggs valued at $210 from a poultry farm. Days previously, between February 11 and 12, 2023, he had also stolen chickens from the same farm. The fact that CCTV cameras recorded the crimes has prompted the Praedial Larceny Unit to reiterate a call to farmers to install the devices. & & The article Jail For Vieux Fort Man Accused Of Stealing Chickens, Eggs is from St. Lucia Times.
