Conman and thief Ricardo Cortez Browne has an unenviable record when it comes to appearances before the law courts.

He can boast of having stood before 13 different magistrates and racking up 94 convictions in a life of crime that started more than 30 years ago.

Last week, he added two more convictions and one more magistrate to his card when he appeared in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court.

The 59-year-old general worker, of Bank Hall Main Road, St Michael, pleaded guilty to stealing a body spray, three chocolates and a bottle of multivitamins and Omega 3 from Flanders Pharmacy on April 8.

He also admitted he stole a pack of razors, two ginseng tonics and a lighter from Caribbean Queen Beauty Supplies on April 6.

Browne’s convictions date back to 1989 when he first appeared before Magistrate Kenneth Gouveia. (HLE)
