West Ruimveldt Man Sentenced for Police Escape, Faces Additional Charges

News

Glen Cameron, a resident of West Ruimveldt, has been sentenced for escaping police custody and now faces multiple charges related to break-ins at two major state agencies.

Cameron appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, where he was presented with four charges—three for breaking and entering and one for unlawful possession of ammunition. He was not required to plead to the break-in allegations.

The first charge states that Cameron was found in possession of a 12-gauge cartridge on November 28, 2025, at Lot 309 West Ruimveldt, without a valid firearm license.

Additionally, he is accused of breaking into the Department of Public Information (DPI) section of the National Communications Network (NCN) between November 8 and November 10, 2025. Prosecutors allege he was part of a group that stole a laptop valued at $220,000, belonging to Shania Persaud; a white pair of AirPods worth $37,000; and a bottle of cologne valued at $44,500, owned by Ray Carrington.

Another charge claims that on November 26, 2025, Cameron and accomplices broke into another state-owned building on Homestretch Avenue, stealing two gas cylinders and a welding hose valued at a total of $290,000.

The fourth charge pertains to Cameron’s escape from police custody. Prosecutors reported that on November 28, 2025, while held at the East La Penitence Police Station for questioning, Cameron fled the facility. He later pleaded guilty to that charge, explaining in court that he believed the matter had been “settled” after a phone call and the return of one of the stolen gas cylinders. Despite his claims of experiencing stomach pains, prosecutors indicated that he admitted to jumping through a window after receiving the call.

Acting Chief Magistrate McGusty sentenced Cameron to six months’ imprisonment for the escape and refused bail for the other charges. He is set to return to court on January 14, 2026, for the continuation of the remaining matters against him.
