One out of the three teens who were caught on video of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that was circulated after he snatched a man’s phone at Stabroek Market had his bail revoked when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday.
Remanded: Daniel McArthur
The matter was called before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly when it was revealed that Daniel McArthur is currently being questioned at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court in connection to another robbery.
To this end, the Senior Magistrate revoked his bail and as such, he was remanded to prison until April 28. His accomplices remain out on bail.
On October 25, 2019, McArthur, Shawn Inniss and Hurrcarlaus Harris appeared before Magistrate Leron Daly and denied that on October 17, 2019, at Camp Street, Georgetown, they robbed Ethan Mookho of two cellphones valued $298,000.
Another charge against McArthur alleged that on October 11, 2019, at Georgetown, he stole one handbag valued $5000, a phone valued $65,000 and $2000 from Juliette Wills. To this charge, the teen also pled not guilty.
After the charges were read, Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh objected to bail being granted to the three teenagers on the grounds that Mookho was stabbed to the back with an ice-pick whilst giving chase to the defendants when the robbery occurred.
The court further heard that the teenagers were positively identified by the victims as the persons who robbed them, as it was captured on CCTV.
