ESSEQUIBO Magistrate Dylon Bess last Friday remanded three men to prison when they appeared before her in the Anna Regina Magistrate’s Court to answer to a charge of robbery under arms.

The three accused, Nelron Beaton, Anthony Bess of Suddie Housing Scheme and Keron Racharran of Cotton Field, Essequibo Coast, were not required to plead to the indictable charge.
According to the charge on July 1st, 2015, at about 1:00 am the trio broke into the Anna Regina Market and armed with knives they tied the security guards and proceeded to break into Zalim Khan’s stall. They carted off flat screen televisions, an equalizer and DVD players valued approximately $500,000.
Prosecutor Haimarj Ramsewack objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the offence. He told the court that police had recovered most of the stolen items at a house at Suddie. Bail was refused by Magistrate Bess.
The three men who were unrepresented will make another appearance in court on July 21.
