Repeat offender slapped with robbery charge

Repeat offender Antonio Maraj of Agricola, East Bank Demerara found himself before Georgetown Magistrate Leron Daly, charged with robbery under arms.
The charge alleges that on November 2, 2017, at Durban Backlands Georgetown, while being armed with a gun, the 20-year-old Maraj robbed Wes Matthews of one iPhone valued $65,500, one wallet valued $5000, and $5000 in cash.
Police Prosecutor Richard Harris objected to the defendant being placed on bail, telling the court that Maraj was positively identified by the virtual complainant (VC).
He noted that Maraj has matters of a similar nature pending before the court.
Maraj was, as such, remanded to prison, and the case will continue on November 24.
