One robbery accused granted bail, other remanded

KELON Bishop, of Lot 87 Hunter Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday, on an indictable robbery with violence charge.
Particulars of the offence said, on August 21, he robbed Basil Blackman of $300,000 and, at the time, made use of personal violence on the victim.

Police Corporal Shevon Jupiter, prosecuting, had no objection to bail but requested that the accused report to Alberttown Police Station, every Friday until October 5.
Meantime, he must post $100,000 surety.
Bishop was one of two robbery accused who made their appearance in the same Court.
The other, Orin Okra, 25, of Lot 461 West Ruimveldt, also in the city, was remanded to prison.
He was also charged indictably, with having, on August 30 being armed with a knife, robbed Vilma Sukdeo of a quantity of items valued a total of $18,280.
The prosecutor successfully objected to bail for Okra, stating that he admitted robbing the virtual complainant and produced the caution statement in which he made the admission.
The prisoner, too, has to be back in Court on October 5.
