DAYS after 27-year-old Casey Chapman was arraigned before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court for a series of criminal charges, he was on Monday hauled before the court again; this time for armed robbery.

Casey Chapman of South Sophia was last Thursday charged along with two others, with a series of firearm-related charges after being busted by the police in a stolen motor car.
When the expecting father appeared before Magistrate Marissa Mittelholzer on Monday, he pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on May 22, 2018 at Georgetown, while being armed with a gun and in the company of others, he robbed Rishi Prashad of a Premio motor car valued $1.7M, a $40,000 cell phone, a $200,000 gold chain and $20,000 in cash.
His attorney, Siand Dhurjon, made an application for bail for his client’s pre-trial liberty.
However, Police Prosecutor Arvin Moore, during his objection for bail, told the court that Chapman was positively pointed out during an identification parade by Parshad as the person who robbed him.

Additionally Moore noted that Chapman along with Sheldon Andrews, 24 and Adam McDonald, 30, were nabbed by the police last week in the stolen motor car at Princes and High Streets with an illegal firearm. The motor car, which Chapman used as a hire-car, had fake registration plates but the police were able to trace the car to its correct owner due to its chassis number.

Magistrate Mittelholzer remanded Chapman to prison until January 25, 2019.
Chapman is currently on remand for the armed robbery committed on Brazilian businesswoman Marcia Maria Martin on July 5, 2017 at Rome, East Bank Demerara, where she was robbed of a cellphone, four ounces of raw gold, cash and other items valued $1.4M. Chapman denied the charge when it was read to him.
