30-Yr-Old Man Charged With 15 Offences
In Magistrates Court this morning [June 19], Jamiko Kenneth Bean, 30, pleaded guilty to a crime spree that spread over thirty days and six parishes, affecting three hotel properties, two supermarkets, two residences, a sports club, and a pre-school.
His activity resulted in a total of fifteen charges being laid; with Bean pleading guilty to eleven of the fifteen which involved various crimes such as stealing liquor, destroying children’s certificates at a pre-school, stealing diapers from Marketplace, stealing two bikes and more. Mr Bean pleaded not guilty to four charges alleging assaulting police and violently resisting arrest.
In addition to the eleven charges to which he had pleaded guilty, Mr Bean agreed to accept responsibility for four other charges involving burglary and theft that took place between 28 May and 12 June. These offences took place at Southampton Rangers Sports Club, Southampton Post Office, Coco Reefs hotel property, and a company in Wellbottom, Southampton.
The charges to which Mr Bean pleaded guilty were:
- May – Taking a motorcycle without the owner’s consent
- May – Stole liquor from Lindo’s
- June – Trespass and theft from the Fairmont Princess in Hamilton
- June – Burglary at Sandpiper Guest accommodation in Warwick
- June – Stealing a cellphone from guests at Sandpiper
- June – Broke into Treetops Pre-School, smashed doors and destroyed children’s certificates
- June – Stole Huggies diapers and Similac baby food from Marketplace stores
- June – Broke into the Elbow Beach Hotel Tennis shop and stole the cash register and cash draw.
- June – Trespass at a residence in Belvedere Drive in Devonshire
- June – Broke into a residence in Belvedere Drive in Devonshire and was confronted by the female resident
- June – Stole a Honda Scoopy
Crown Prosecutor Nicole Smith put the DPP’s case that Mr Bean should be sent to the Supreme Court for sentencing, however after a lengthy argument, Senior Magistrate Archie Warner ruled that sentencing would take place in Magistrates Court because, in his view, the Magistrates Court had sufficient sentencing power to deal with the matter.
Taking into account the crime spree and his previous record which saw Mr Bean incarcerated for six years for robbery convictions in 2005, the Magistrate remanded him into custody and ordered a Social Inquiry Report.
Mr Bean returns for sentence on 24 July, and will stand trial in October for the four charges involving police.

Lmao
not funny, he obviously doesn’t care getting sent back to the sun set hotel. you won’t laugh if he hit up your place, stole yur play station, passport and loose change so be carefull what you LOL at
I’d laugh if he hit my place up, until I have to clean the blood my dog tracks through the house. You want my ps3? Come get it, you just gotta earn it, and my dog is the least of your worries, hope to hell I’m not home, between the 2 of us you will wish you were dead. I’d rather go to jail for greivous bodily harm than murder, you won’t forget my house when your rollin around in your wheelchair.
A crime spree is an UNDERSTATEMENT for all of the stuff this guy is going up for! This is JUNKIE behavior!You better stick this guy with a fork because he is DONE! Bermuda aint gonna see him for a long time! We don’t need nobody like this guy running around Bermuda for the summer that’s for sure! When i read all of his charges the one that stood out the most to me was this one “■June – Stole Huggies diapers and Similac baby food from Marketplace stores !” I can’t understand that one!I wish someone would let him explain just this charge because that is just so out of the ordinary. I couldn’t stop laughing when i read that part seriously!
Someone has a child with him? 0_0
wow man get a life!
Keep ya head up mate!
FREE MY N$#GAA!!
He will be keeping something up but it won’t be his head.
Um Um. People like you are the reason this island is f’d.
your ‘mate’ should be a man and stop acting like a child. he’s 30. get a job. earn what you deserve.
LOL… sarcasm!
The only head he will be keeping up is the one of many he will be taking up his A*&%SS in jail LOL!!!
“Taking into account the crime spree and his previous record which saw Mr Bean incarcerated for six years for robbery convictions in 2005, the Magistrate remanded him into custody and ordered a Social Inquiry Report.”
Proof that prison in Bermuda solves nothing!!
Recidivism rates around the continent are at an all time high. Even if this a$$ isn’t rehabilitated, at least he’ll be off the damn streets for a while. I agree with one of the previous comments: this is definitely junkie behaviour!!
proof that prison in Bermuda solves nothing! True, but bet the death penalty would! Thieves deserve nothing less!
Lock his ass up!
Senior Magistrate Archie Warner ruled that sentencing would take place in Magistrates Court because, in his view, the Magistrates Court had sufficient sentencing power to deal with the matter.
I call BS. Unless the magistrate has the power to turn him into fish bait, a one year maximum sentence is useless.
Anyone want to bet all the sentences will be concurrent?
Why can’t I pay my bills concurrently – you know if my phone bill is $120 and my Belco bill is $350 and my Cablevision bill is $95, can I just pay them all with a $350 cheque?
bout time they caught”em go to Jail
i agree milli but this isnt the 1st time he has been caught since he has been out of jail from the last time.
Do him like The Middle East and chop his F*&#ing hands off!
+1
So what happens to the 800$ item that was stolen from me? Will this character be tasked with retracing his steps and returning all the hard earned things that he stole – or at least repaying?
Any BPS reps available to answer?
Thank You
also the $800 that was stolen from me. Altho my case hasnt come up yet, will i get JUSTICE???!!!!!!
Well that would be up to the judge if he were to order him to pay restitution to his victims. However, the fact that he is finacially broke the likely hood of that happening is slim to none. The other avenue would be for you to take him to court civilly but like I said the fact that he has nothing will probably be more aggravation than its worth to you. Hope this helps. Sorry for you losses.
Its a crying shame, but old habbits are the hardest to get rid of. He has not learned and he will be charged of other theft charges soon as well. he just continues to steal from everyone and everywhere.
It is not difficult to research societies that have low theft rates….like Singapore. Why doesn’t Bermuda introduce caning? Or, should we just continue to accept the things that society is completely fed up with?
what is worse, there is no picture of him so we can not see the face of terror. One thing i liked about the court, you could see people going into court on the news and you knew who was terrorizing the community. these guys come out and they can easily secrete themselves back in the community because we do not know what they look like.
Wish there was a “Like” button for this comment. ^^^^
So do I.
This is a guy that is determine to get what he wants by any means necessary. Especially if he’s on hard drugs. He is just one part of the total problem… The bigger problem is the people who purchase the stolen property, they are the one’s that fuel this thief.
Humans have a will to survive, do you really think that’s where the problem lies? Because I buy stolen goods (hypathetically) I am the problem?? Why would I buy stolen goods? Wouldn’t it be nice to walk into m&m and buy that brand new suround sound? I think the problem lies deeper than that, along with the answer.
Sorry to hear all of your losses and also sorry to say he is truly a junkie addicted to Heroine and Cocaine he has fall victim to society and can’t cope in this real world so he steals to support his habbit and sadly tries to provide somethin for his kids all um saying is he is in a better place now I hope he gets a maximum sentence and has to restore payment somehow manditorily..
He is only a victim of his own stupidity. Taking durgs is a CHOICE and we need to stop making excuses for people who choose this path!!
How many times is the young man going to be given short sentences, he needs to be put away for at least 15-20 years,it shows us that he is not willing to change his behavior, when I read the charges and saw that he went into a nursey scholl, What the hell is he on,to mess up certifcates WHy!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the pampers and baby milk does he have a baby??????????? the Judge needs to take a long look at this mans rap sheet PUT HIM AWAY NOW dont waste court time. Send him to a Cubian Prison they’ll teach him not to steal,he won’t have any hands to steal with, he’ll be eating with his feet, they don’t play down there. This young man has been in trouble with the law for a very long time, this just didn’t start, as a young boy he was in and out for Co-Ed and he will be in and out of Westgate, when can we as Mr.& Mrs. Bermuda and our visitors be able to sleep confortable and not worry about young man like him.
they should hang him
The result of drug addicted parents = loss children = criminal adults
Glad he is off the streets (once again) but for how long this time? That’s the ????
