A miner was slapped with three counts of robbery under arms on Tuesday and made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Nigel Wellington, 35, of Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara (EBD) denied that on December 20, 2017, at Well Road, North Ruimveldt, while in the company of others and armed with a gun, he robbed Vanessa Albert of $570,000 worth of items, including two televisions.
The second charge alleged that he on the same day and at the same location, robbed Ezekiel London of his laptop and iPhones valued $150,000.
Additionally, the final charge stated that he on January 4, 2018 at North Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he robbed Simona Hopkinson of items valuing $184,000.
According to the Police Prosecutor, none of the items were recovered. She objected to bail being granted, revealing that the accused will soon be charged with sexual assault in another matter against him.
As such, he was remanded to prison and will return to court on January 26.
