Excavator operator granted bail

A 29-year-old excavator operator of Lot 928 Herstelling Housing Scheme was on Tuesday granted bail after denying a charge of robbery under arms.

Ryan Goodluck appeared before Magistrate Dylan Best at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.

It is alleged that on October 29, at Campbellville, armed with a gun and on motorcycle CH 528, Goodluck robbed Mondessa Cameron of a cellular phone, her purse and cash.

The defendant was represented by Attorney-at-Law Darren Wade.

The prosecution stated that on the day in question, around 20:00h, the defendant terrorised and robbed Cameron with a hand gun.

The prosecution objected to bail, citing the nature and prevalence of the matter. However, Magistrate Best stated that he has considered the prosecution’s concerns, but would grant bail to the defendant.

Goodluck was granted bail in the sum of $75,000.

Magistrate Best ordered the defendant to return to court on December 19 for statements. In addition, he was ordered to report to Providence Police Station every Monday, pending the outcome of his trial.
