AN alleged chain-snatcher was on Tuesday granted $150,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry after being on remand for one month.

Kevin Mingo, a miner of Guyhoc Park, Georgetown, is accused of robbing Anfernie Cantazar of two gold chains at gunpoint. In addition, he is also accused of robbing Patrick Dundas of another pair of gold chains, a total value of $113,000.
Mingo was released on bail following a bail application by his lawyer.
The particulars of the case against Mingo state that Dundas and Cantazar had stopped at a shop in James Street, Albouystown, to purchase cigarettes. As the two men were about to enter a car, Mingo approached them with a gun and relieved them both of the articles mentioned in the charge.
It was also related by Prosecutor Bharat Mangru that after the robbery, Mingo tried to escape on a bicycle but was soon caught by the victims, who refused to allow him to flee with their valuables.
The prosecution did not oppose bail, and Mingo is set to make his next court appearance on June 12, 2015.
