Teen accused of robbery remanded

A TEEN who is well known to the court, appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Marcus-Isaacs on Monday, September 16, 2019, at the Georgetown magistrates’ court, to answer to a robbery charge.

18-year-old Chris Pollard, of David Street Kitty, Georgetown, admitted that, on September 13, 2019, at Camp Street, Georgetown, in the company of two others, he robbed Sachin Narine of a Samsung Galaxy cellphone, valued at $45,000.

Police Prosecutor stated that, on the day in question, around 17:30 hours, the virtual complainant was walking along Camp Street, having a conversation on his cellular phone, when he felt someone snatch the phone from him. The virtual complainant then turned around and saw the defendant and two others.

The defendant then threatened the virtual complainant saying “don’t do nothing before we do something.” The men then turned around and ran away. An alarm was raised by the virtual complainant and two officers on patrol were able to apprehend one of the accused.
Pollard currently has five pending matters of similar nature at the Georgetown magistrates’ court and two at the Providence Magistrates’ Court.

Magistrate remanded the young man to prison and adjourned to October 7,2019.
