A 20-year-old mechanic, charged for armed robbery, was, on Thursday, November 14, 2019, arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.

Levar Moore of Leopold Street, Georgetown, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and denied the charge which stated that, on November 9, 2019, at Princess Street, Georgetown, at the Special Constabulary Headquarters, while in the company of others and armed with a dangerous weapon, he robbed Sherwin Thornhill of a Motorcycle valued at $270,000.

According to statements presented in court, on the day in question, the virtual complainant was sitting on his bike talking to a female when the defendant and several others approached them.

The defendant then placed a gun to the virtual complainant’s head and demanded the said bike and made good his escape.

Moore, who was unrepresented, told the court that he was unaware of the allegations and had no knowledge of how the court operated.

Magistrate McLennan, after listening to the statements presented in court, remanded Moore to prison.

Moore will make his second court appearance today (November 15).
