PORTER Leon Vieira,29, of Lot 26 Hogg Street, Albouystown, Georgetown was remanded to prison by Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday on a robbery charge. The defendant pleaded not guilty to the offence which said that on April 17, in Wellington Street, another part of Georgetown, he robbed Mortimer Lucas of $60,000 wrist watch.
Police Corporal Dinero Jones, prosecuting, did not relate how the offence was committed but, successfully, objected to bail, stating that the defendant had given a different address, of Lot 59 Russell Street, Charlestown and may pose a flight risk.
The Prosecutor also cited the nature and gravity of the crime.
The case has been adjourned to May 9.
