Women Plead Guilty To Stealing Fake Hair
Two women appeared in Magistrates Court this morning [Oct 4], both charged with separate incidents of stealing artificial hair.
The first — a 20-year-old woman — pleaded guilty to stealing two packets of artificial hair valued at a total $120 from a salon on Reid Street.
Magistrate Juan Wolffe was told that around noon on 10th September, shop staff had seen the woman place certain items in her handbag. That when she was accosted by them, and was still inside the store, she admitted having the items in her possession.
Shop staff retrieved the items and ran them through the bar-code sales record system which showed that the items had not been purchased or paid for. Police were called and the young woman later admitted, to Police, that she had taken the items.
Saying that she was a young woman who hoped to pursue further education and training, that the shop had suffered no actual loss, and that she had a clean record, Duty Counsel Oonagh Vaucrosson asked that the young lady be given a Conditional Discharge.
Crown Prosecutor Cindy Clarke offered no strenuous objection and agreed that, under the circumstances, a Conditional Discharge could be considered.
Magistrate Wolffe remonstrated with the 20 year old asking her: “Why, in the first place did you do that?” In particular: “….why were you stealing something that was purely material?”
The Magistrate rejected her excuse that these were, in her words, ‘hard economic times’ and that she needed the hair to improve her appearance by telling her that she was already an attractive person.
The Magistrate ordered a Conditional Discharge, good for twelve months. He finished by telling her that: “I’m gonna’ remember your face. I don’t want to see it again in my Court.”
The second case saw mother-of-two Tamika Zuill, 31, of Sandy’s, also plead guilty to a charge of stealing two packets of artificial hair valued at a total $95. This happened on 11th September at Fadoo Hair on King Street.
The Magistrate was told by Crown Counsel that shop staff had seen Ms Zuill take the hair packets and that she left the store with them. Shop staff chased after her, shouted to her, and police were called and Ms Zuill later admitted to the theft.
Magistrate Wolffe noted she had prior convictions, while Ms Zuill said that she was sorry and that ”I go to church.” The Magistrate ordered a Social Inquiry Report and that Ms Zuill should return to Court in November for sentencing.

so who’s the 20 year old? Blasting the 31 year old!
”I go to church.”
Umm, that’s not an excuse for theft.
All the more reason she should have known better. Does thou shall not steal ring a bell?
wow can you say desperate!
No, but I can say stupid.
desperate times call for stupid measures….if you’re going to steal something why not steal something of resale value…these women are complete and utter idiots!
Its washable. You can sell it again, second hand! LOL with the depreciated value.
Lord have mercy. What is this, WorldStar?
WORRLLLLLD STARRRRRRR!!!!!
lol, just had 2. but yeah, stealing weave –> meatball move…..
come on ladies it is not that deep to be stealing fake hair… focus on what is more important in this Economy.
See wha happened was last week when I went church I saw someone with the curly weave and I had the straight weave and I thought to myself, “I want that hair… I NEED it!”. But I spent my money on the straight weave and some kfc and we all know rent is due… So I did what I had ta do.
…of all the hair-brained schemes…
Gee Weave reached a new low in Bermuda. lol. “I go to church” ??? Either your Bible is in braille and you can’t understand it or the book of Exodus got used as kite paper, cause you are missin something. Destruction of the soul is vanity….get your priorities straight.
I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE IN BERMUDA when I say I that God lets people do evil things every day.
Stealing food because my kids are hungry is a pretty good excuse. Stealing horse hair because I wanna look ‘pretty’ is totally stupid
Shows you how low as a society we have descended when our girls are stealing HAIR just to look good when we have other more serious pressing issues to deal with in this economy. Help me understand. PLEASE!
you cant get electricity out of piece of wood, and you certainly cant get common sense in the midst of stupidity.
What is going on with some of these people in Bermuda? Stealing ground beef, stealing ears of corn, stealing puppies, stealing avocados and now stealing hair weave? Really? We are starting to sound like Florida with all those wacky cases that come out of that state. Anyway SHE RATCHET!!
LMAOOOOO SHE RATCHET!!!
WEAK
She’s just the first to get caught! Its a lot of girls out there stealing weave.
NOT SHE RATCHET……….. LOFL IM NO MORE GOOD!!!!
“I go Church??!!” hahahahahahaha…like the Judge said she has previous convictions for stealing. That should tell you something right there. Always trying to look like a million dollars but can’t take care of her kids…mmm mmmmm something else…Hope she learns something from Church…soon!
If only half of you unbeweavable women would stop putting all those chemicals in ya head you might be able to grow a decent grain.
Can you say “Whoa Nelly”
U cant be serious!!!
LOL LOL LOL… Bermuda is way too small for this craziness LOL… O well stick to ya natural grain ace!!
A mother of two stealing artificial hair??? makes sense.. I mean I would have a little sympathy if she was in marketplace stealing bread and milk, but this is just, for lack of a better word stupid and extremely superficial.. Oh my island!!!
I go to church too, but I don’t steal no fake hair bie!
@ I wonder … Thats what happens when you try and keep up with Jones’.. SMH.. So Sad
“UNBEWEAVABLE”
That’s Mug!
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL #DEAD
Ya can’t make this s%$t up!
Keep watching for tomorrows case, “Women steal nails, cuz we wanna be fly”, and six of the baby deddys ain’t paid their support.
UNBEWEAVEABLE
any particular reason that the 20 yr old isn’t named and shamed in this article?!?
We get asked this with many conditional discharge stories….hopefully the below helps…
If you check back through all our stories, we don’t as policy name some people in Court – innocent victims, many witnesses, and some people under 21 for smaller offences [tiny amount of cannabis, stealing smaller items] who are first time offenders and get a conditional discharge.
The Court is giving them a second chance through the discharge, so we honour that most times, and hopefully the young people appreciate the chance and straighten up. Many do – some have went on to college, got GEDs, jobs even started volunteering – unfortunately some don’t….we have had 2 cases thus far of teenagers reappearing so we name them then as they had their chance.
Only young, first time offenders, with smaller charges, who get discharged we won’t name [well alleged sex offenders as well, but that's not our choice its the law] everyone else is named.
The 31-year-old was not discharged and will be sentenced, has been before the Courts on prior occasions [another incident she was convicted of involved face cream] so there is no reason we would not name her….
Interesting, so that’s only your personal policy on reporting?
How come we can’t refer to previous matters in the comments if someone is in the news again – but you mention she has previous offences? Or is it only allowed if they were found guilty and sentenced of said previous offense(s)? Just asking.
All they need is some Cactus and some Bob Marley and their hair will grow for free.
who is going to plead guilty for convincing these ladies that hey need weave in the first place? i hope they learn true beauty is on the inside and that every other judgemental bermudian would not be so caught up in looks, chooks!. #materialists
She ratchet!!!! Long hair don’t care!! (Patting my weave).
hope the young girl learns her lesson. In regards to the older woman, the weave will not improve a thang. CHow!
Thanks Bernews. I needed this laugh today. Sounds like something you’d see in the “Well I never” section of the Gazette.
Sounds like something out of Comton
But the people wanna know why only name one???? the other girl is 20 aint no reason why her name wasnt release.
whats next
lmfao
go natural, you wash and condition and are good to go.
something tells me I dont want to see her “natural”……just sayin
For the life of me, I can’t understand this girl. What is wrong with her?? Not too long ago she was stealing from the pharmacy and of course it was crap that she was stealing, now she is stealing hair – REALLY!!
You have a job, last I checked Digicel pay good so why can’t you pay – oh, you can’t pay cause you are living beyond your means!! Cut the crap and try doing something productive with your life – maybe start by taking better care of your child(ren)!!!
Digicel only pays the top people well. The rest are pee ons. But they always seem to hire the best of the best. LOL! LOL! Never an excuse to steal. Just sayin….
nuts….hahahahhaahahaha
WTF ?!?!? this must be some kind of joke … like for real WEAVE???
Your serious? I would have got you a whole horse tail for $50. lol some peoples children.
Um heard it ALL.I wish that sista HAD gone to church with stolen hair up on her head. I would have paid GOOD money to see the Holy Spirit jump on her and snatch it off……oh lord um HOLLARING
LMAO
Bermyonion,
Funny,Hilarious!! You should try writing comedy.Still lol!
However,Rockfish#1 thinks you need prayer.
Um been giggling over this ALL day. Gurl wanna mess with Jesus like that…….one lightning bolt and you KNOW fake hair STINKS when it burns…….AHN AHN
What, what, bermy becoming GHETTO FABBBBBBBBBBBB !!!
Come on sisters, WHAT THE HECK HAPPEN ? OH LORD ! LOL
I for one am all for this law when used correctly and not abused. But can someone please tell me why the police will wait at white hill gate and pull over Somerset Bridge Football time right after a training session? Is it that football is considered congregating and we are not allowed to do so?
could have came to me and I would have giving her $20 for some HAIR !! or better than that !! cud have went down to Spicelands Stables and asked for some of the horses hair for free.
Everyone makes a mistake at least once in their lives. It’s nice that Bernews respected that it was her first offence and gives peeps like that a chance by not posting her name. Too Bad Royal Gazette didn’t think like that.
It is sad that people feel that they must take what is not theirs to impress others. I go church is a statement that highlights the fact that people will steal to look good on a Saturday or Sunday morning. If times are hard, you can’t afford to put ten percent in the offering plate and look fly too! LOL!
