TWO men Monday were sentenced to four years and six months each on two robbery charges

It was alleged that on May 15, 2018, at Hadfield Street the two men, being together, robbed Osafo Hale of a quantity of articles valued $56,000.
Eighteen-year-old Anthony Prince and 21-year-old Donavon Richardson pleaded guilty to the charge.

Richardson explained to the court that two men were fighting and someone stole the virtual complainant’s phone. He took away the phone and put it in his pocket.

According to the police prosecutor, on the day in question, the virtual complainant was walking on Hadfield Street when the defendants approached him. One dealt him a cuff to his face and the other snatched a bag from off his shoulders. As a result, the VC raised an alarm and the police responded quickly. The two suspects were arrested and the articles were discovered in their possession. They were positively identified by the virtual complainant.
