Devon Byam has confessed to stealing a Kipling knapsack from the Baptist Academy of Antigua.
On March 7, Byam entered the school grounds around 3:30 pm while students were engaged in soccer. He took an unattended bag containing textbooks valued at $1,715. The student noticed the bag missing upon returning from the field.
After reviewing security footage, school officials identified Byam as the thief. He was apprehended with some of the stolen items and admitted to discarding most of them, except for a bottle of perfume.
Byam was sentenced to pay $1,000 in compensation and received time served for his time in remand.
