Police say man had stolen items on him

A Cummings Lodge resident appeared Wednesday before Magistrate Fabayo Azore on a robbery charge.

The court heard that on August 13, 2018, at Albert Street, Queenstown, while being armed with a pair of scissors, Gary Thomas robbed Vasad Seoram of one cellphone valued $14,000, one black watch valued $ 5,000 and $19,000 in cash.

The 23-year-old labourer denied the charge that was read to him in court.
The police prosecutor had no objection to bail but asked that the defendant be placed on substantial bail.

According to the police facts, on the day in question, the virtual complainant was walking on Albert Street when he was attacked from behind. The defendant was armed with a pair of scissors.

The victim shouted for help several times and two persons came to his assistance. The defendant then tried to escape on foot but was captured. A search was carried out on him and the items were found in his possession. He was then taken to the Alberttown Police Station where he was charged.

Bail was granted in the sum of $50,000 on condition that the defendant report to the Alberttown Police Station every Friday. The matter was adjourned to September 26, 2018.
