Two men from Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD) were on Friday charged in connection with two separate robbery incidents that occurred earlier this month. The charges were laid by ranks attached to the Beterverwagting Police Station and both accused appeared before Magistrate Abigail Gibbs at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court. One of the men was remanded to prison, while the other was granted bail. Suraj Isaac, called “Nicholas”, a 20-year-old fisherman of Mon Repos, was charged with Robbery with Violence, contrary to Section 222(a) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 08:01. The charge stems from an alleged robbery committed on June 16, 2025, at the Triumph, ECD home of Vannie Jagmohan, a 47-year-old businesswoman of Plantain Walk.
