East Coast trio on bail in separate criminal offences

Three men from the East Coast of Demerara (ECD) were brought before the courts this week on unrelated criminal charges: one charged with grievous bodily harm, and two jointly charged with narcotics possession.
Ryan Singh, a 25-year-old porter from Mon Repos, appeared at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm.
The charge stems from an alleged attack on Wazim Shameer that occurred on June 1, in Mon Repos, ECD.
Singh was arrested the same day by ranks from the Beterverwagting Police Station.

During his court appearance before Magistrate Clive Nurse, Singh pleaded not guilty and was granted $100,000 bail. The matter was adjourned to July 18, for the disclosure of statements.
In the other case, 22-year-old Glenroy Roberts and 28-year-old Tahid Jacobs, both residents of Dazzel Housing Scheme, were jointly charged with possession of narcotics after police discovered 28.5 grammes of marijuana during an intelligence-led cordon-and-search operation on June 6, 2025.

The two men appeared at the Cove and John Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Orinthia Schmidt, where they both pleaded not guilty.
They were granted $75,000 bail each, and the matter was adjourned to July 30.
In a separate case just last month, Jacobs was charged with larceny and breaking and entering. He was arrested on May 16 for allegedly breaking into a home in Golden Grove North, and appeared before the same magistrate where he was granted self-bail.
That matter remains ongoing and is scheduled to continue on June 30.
