Ruimveldt Man Jailed for Escaping Police Custody
December 17 2o25
A West Ruimveldt, Georgetown man, alleged to have gone on a crime spree last November, has been sentenced for escaping police custody and now faces multiple additional charges linked to break-ins at two major state agencies.
Glen Cameron appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he was read four charges—three of which accuse him of breaking and entering, and one for unlawful possession of ammunition.
Cameron was not required to plead to the break-in allegations.
According to the first charge, Cameron was allegedly found with a 12-gauge cartridge on November 28, 2025, at Lot 309 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown. Police say he was unable to produce a firearm licence for the ammunition.
Cameron is also accused of breaking into the Department of Public Information (DPI) section of the National Communications Network (NCN) at Homestretch Avenue sometime between November 8 and November 10, 2025.
Prosecutors claim he was accompanied by others during the incident, which reportedly resulted in the theft of a laptop valued at $220,000 belonging to Shania Persaud; a white pair of AirPods worth $37,000; and a bottle of cologne valued $44,500, both property of Ray Carrington.
Another charge before the court alleged that on November 26, 2025, Cameron and accomplices broke into another state-owned building, also located on Homestretch Avenue.
Two gas cylinders and a welding hose, valued at a total of $290,000, were reportedly stolen during that break-in.
The fourth charge stemmed from Cameron’s escape from police custody.
Prosecutors said that on November 28, 2025, while detained at the East La Penitence Police Station on Mandela Avenue for questioning on criminal matters, Cameron fled the building.
He later pleaded guilty to that offence.
In court, Cameron attempted to explain that he believed the matter had been “settled” after his sister contacted him and one of the stolen gas cylinders was returned.
He also claimed to be experiencing stomach pains at the time. The prosecutor, however, told the court that Cameron admitted to officers that he jumped through a window at the station after a phone call.
Acting Chief Magistrate McGusty sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment for the escape and refused bail for the other charges.
Cameron is expected to return to court on January 14, 2026, when the remaining matters will continue.
