FORTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD Mark Lovell (no address given) was remanded to prison yesterday, when the police, successfully, objected to Magistrate Judy Latchman granting him bail on a robbery charge.Lovell pleaded not guilty to the offence, particulars of which said, on November 15, at West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, while being in company of another armed with a gun, he robbed Rico Persaud of a Blackberry cellular phone valued $50,000.
Police Corporal Renetta Bentham, prosecuting, based her objection to the grant on the grounds of the seriousness and prevalence of the crime as well as the alleged use of a firearm and the likelihood that Lovell may not return for trial.
Lovell, a claimed father of four, has to be back in court on December 5.
