KEON Simon of Albouystown, who allegedly robbed two persons at gunpoint, on Friday, appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court and was granted $200,000 bail by Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.

He denied that on May 13, 2021, at Campbell Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, while being in company of another, and armed with a gun, he robbed Eion Small of one Honda XR motorcycle valued at $445,000, one silver chain valued at $35,000, and a black LG cellular phone valued at $100,000. He also denied that on the same day and at the said location, while being in company of another and armed with a gun, he robbed Monisha Toppin of $800 cash.

According to the facts of the case, Small was in front of his house while his motorcycle was parked on the street with the keys in the ignition. Simon reportedly approached Small and pulled his chain from around his neck. With a gun in his hand, he proceeded to check the man’s pants pockets where he found a phone.

Simon’s accomplice reportedly targeted Toppin, who was in her yard at the time. The woman was relieved of the sum of cash mentioned in the charge.

Following the robbery, Simon and his accomplice reportedly mounted Small’s motorcyle and speed off.

Police later arrested Simon who denied the allegations. He was charged after being picked out during an identification parade.

Magistrate Isaacs-Marcus ordered that Simon be placed on $100,000 bail on each charge.

The matter was adjourned until June 25, 2021.
