DEQUON Robinson, on Friday, appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on a robbery with violence charge and was granted $60,000 bail by Magistrate Leron Daly.

He denied that, on March 9, 2022, at Railway Embankment, Kitty, he used personal violence to rob Boze Ramdass of a Samsung Galaxy A10 valued at $28,000.

Reports are that Ramdass was waiting for a taxi when Robinson allegedly came up to him on a motorcycle and demanded that he hand over his valuables. After Ramdass refused, he was dealt a hit to his face with an unknown object and Robinson escaped with the cellphone.

Robinson was later arrested by police with the stolen phone in his possession. He was unable to provide a reasonable explanation as to how it came to be in his possession.
The case was adjourned to April 8, 2022.
