SHAMAR FRASER, who allegedly robbed a businessman at gunpoint, on Monday made an appearance in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was remanded to prison by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.

Fraser of Cross Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, was not required to plead to the charge.

It is alleged that, on November 13 at Hadfield Street, Werk – en – Rust, Georgetown, Fraser, while in company of another, and armed with a gun, robbed Eron Baptiste of one gold chain valued at $600,000, one black iPhone 7 cellular phone valued at $200,000, one pink Samsung Galaxy A90 cellular phone valued at $150,000, one black cellular phone valued at $5,000, and $30,000 cash.

Prosecutor Inniss informed the court that Baptiste was familiar with Fraser but they were not friends. On the day in question, at Hadfield Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown, Baptiste was near his business place when someone said, “Don’t move or we gon kill you and handover everything that you have.”

He had moments earlier seen Fraser and another and had decided to return to his place of business.

When Baptiste turned around he reportedly saw Fraser with a black handgun pointed to him. Fraser reportedly snatched the chain from Baptiste’s neck while his accomplice emptied his pockets which contained several cellular phones and cash. Fraser and his accomplice then made good their escape.

On November 20 Fraser was arrested and subsequently charged.

The matter was adjourned to December 21.
