Home News Duo charged, remanded for robbing GDF rank
32-year-old Junior Jordan of Non-Pareil Street, Albouystown and 18-year-old Brandon Robinson of Hunter Street, Albouystown, Georgetown have been remanded to prison until November 7, 2022 on a joint armed robbery charge.
These two men appeared at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, and were not required to plead to a charge which stated that on September 29, 2022, at Good Hope Phase 3, East Coast Demerara (ECD), they robbed 23-year-old Marlon Reynolds, a serving member of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF).
It has been reported that Reynolds was attacked and robbed by three men who were armed with handguns. He was relieved of one red-and-black XR motorcycle, CJ 4308, property of the Guyana Defence Force; one iPhone 8+ and $15,000 cash.
The Police have said that Reynolds was in front of his girlfriend’s home at Phase 3 Good Hope Access Road, ECD when he was confronted by the suspects, who drove up in a dark-coloured Toyota Vitz motor car. The car driver reportedly pointed an AK-47 rifle at Reynolds, while another suspect pointed a small handgun at him and told him not to move. They then confiscated the items from him, and two of the suspects escaped in the vehicle while the third suspect jumped on the motorcycle and made good his escape.
The matter was reported and an investigation was launched, during which Jordon and Robinson were arrested and charged. The third suspect is yet to be arrested.
