Olamide Sonowo, a serial thief, who was arrested following a sting operation involving a Xhire member, has been sentenced to 2 years and 4 months for theft of rented camera equipment.
This conviction sends a clear message to all you potential thieves out there: If you steal kit from Xhire members, you will be traced and arrested, and end up in prison for a long time.
Mr Sonowo will be eligible for parole in May, 2018, so all rental companies should be on the alert, as prison rarely deters criminals from trying again.
