Nicholas Brian Bishop was so angry after he was caught trying to steal a boat engine on June 16 that he went through four St James neighbourhoods and slashed the tyres on 89 vehicles.

Seeming unremorseful, the 32-year-old man of Haynesville, St James, pleaded guilty again and again when Magistrate Barbara Cooke-Alleyne read out 35 charges to him when he appeared at the Holetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday evening.
