Martin Calvin, a 30-year-old resident of East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was sentenced to five years in prison on Tuesday after pleading guilty to an armed robbery charge. The sentencing took place at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Alisha George.
The charge stemmed from an incident that occurred on September 13, when Calvin robbed a 30-year-old woman from Windsor Forest, West Coast Demerara (WCD). He was arrested on Saturday in connection with the crime.
Calvin was charged under Section 222 (c) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01, and promptly admitted his guilt. Following his guilty plea, he was sentenced to five years in prison.
