The Prosecutor, Zannah Dalhatu, had told the court that one Saad Mohammed had reported the matter at the Life Camp Police Station on Sunday.
The prosecutor said the convict and two others now at large tried to steal a generating set and were caught.
Two other accomplices, he added, escaped.
He said the offences contravened the provisions of Sections 79, 348 and 95 of the Penal Code.
