Malicious construction worker charged with Rose Hall Town robberies

A 21-year-old construction worker from Alness Village, Corentyne, Berbice, Region Six, has been charged in connection with two robberies committed at businesses in Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, last month. Steve Anthony Tsoi, also called “Timmy”, appeared before Magistrate Michelle Mathias at the Albion Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, where two counts of robbery under arms were read to him.
He pleaded not guilty to the allegations and was granted $100,000 bail on each count. Police stated that Tsoi robbed Stephen Ramsingh, Petal Sabsoop, and Gurudat Sudhai in Rose Hall Town, Corentyne, between February 23 and February 28, 2026. The matter was adjourned to March 20. However, Tsoi remains in Police custody as additional charges of robbery under arms, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition are expected to be instituted against him on Monday.
The charges arise from a series of armed robberies that recently targeted businesses in Rose Hall Town, Corentyne. In one incident, gunmen stormed the Shanie Liquor and Grocery Store, firing a shot into the air before pointing firearms at people inside and escaping with cash and valuables.
Days later, bandits again struck in the town, robbing G Sudhai and Sons Grocery Store, where the perpetrators, armed with hand-held firearms, reportedly carted off a large sum of money before fleeing the scene.
