A city Magistrate on Friday set a curfew and granted bail to a young man who was charged with trying to rob a Sophia, Greater Georgetown resident on Christmas Day.
Senior Magistrate Dylon Bess ordered 21-year-old John Christian of B Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, under curfew and on $50,000 bail. It is alleged that on December 25, 2023, while in the company of others and armed with a steel rod, he attempted to rob Delton Amsterdam.
The crime was committed around 12:20h, according to the court prosecutor. Without legal representation, Christian denied the charge made against him.
The Police prosecutor, Christopher Morris, requested a substantial bail amount but did not oppose bail.
Christian was granted bail subject to two conditions – he has to report at the Alberttown Police Station once a month and refrain from leaving his house after 19:00h until the hearing and determination of the matter.
He is expected to return to court on February 9, 2024.
