A man was remanded to prison on Monday by Magistrate Judy Latchman for yet another Mash Day robbery when he appeared before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
According to the charge, Pascal Smith, 27, of Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown, while armed with a dangerous weapon (a knife), robbed the Virtual Complainant (VC), Shavaline Khan, of her LG cellular phone valued 140,000 and $2000 cash.
The prosecution objected to bail based on the seriousness of the offence, the fact that a weapon was used to commit the act and the penalty attached to such a felony.
The accused, from the prisoners’ dock, showed no remorse and related to the court that he and the VC were known to each other and he was “just joking around”.
In addressing the court, the VC stated that he had suffered inconvenience as a result of the loss of his cellular phone and would be happy to have his device returned to him.
Bail was refused and the Magistrate remanded Smith to prison until March 20, 2017 when the matter will proceed to trial.
