A 30-year-old unemployed man, who is no stranger to the court, was, on Wednesday, remanded to prison for robbing a woman at gunpoint of over $4.5 million in jewellery, cash and cellphones.

Andrew Ridley called “Orin” of Campbell Street, Albouystown was arraigned before Magistrate Annette Singh at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

He denied that, on January 24, 2022, at Callender and James Streets, Albouystown, while being armed with a gun, he robbed Carla Stevenson of three cell phones, $200,000 cash and a quantity of gold jewellery totalling $4,569,500.

The court prosecutor objected to the defendant being released on bail and told the court that Ridley is no stranger to the law since he was recently released from prison after serving time for similar offences.

The magistrate remanded Ridley to prison until February 16.

Last year, he was arraigned before the same court for breaking into a woman’s West Ruimveldt, Georgetown home on August 11,2021, and stealing over $70,000 in items.

He is currently out on bail for that matter.

Meanwhile, in 2019, he was sentenced by Magistrate Singh on two robbery charges and two counts of assault committed on two police officers during his arrest for that robbery.

He was sentenced to a total of three years in prison and was released from prison in June 2021.
