Robbery-under-arms quartet granted $100,000 bail each

Arraigned on Monday before Leonora Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool on a joint charge of armed robbery, 24-year-old
Jeremiah Lovell of Lot 161 Lion’s Place, South Ruimveldt, Georgetown; 38-year-old Adrian Bailey of Lot 163 La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD); 29-year-old Carlton Miller of Lot 14 Bent Street, Georgetown; and 37-year-old Timothy Sentil of Lot 337 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara each denied that on August 17, 2017, at La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD), being armed with a gun, they robbed Zabeeda Hamid of two gold chains valued 5,000 and 0,000 in cash.
Police Prosecutor Sherwin Matthews, objecting to the men being placed on bail on ground that each poses a flight risk, told the court that the virtual complainant resides in the same are as one of the defendants, and as such, the defendant might attempt to interfere with the witness.
Magistrate Liverpool overruled the prosecutor’s objections and placed each defendant on 0,000 bail, with the requirement that they each report to the La Grange Police Station once per month until the completion of their trial. They were also warned not to make any contact with the VC, or their bail would be revoked.
This matter has been transferred to the Wales Magistrate’s Court for continuation on September 7.
