Teen arraigned on robbery charge

An 18-year-old D’Urban Street teenager appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly on Tuesday to answer to a robbery charge, which was brought against him.
The unrepresented teen, Chris Bollers, denied the charge which stated that he robbed Raheez Mohammed of a cellphone and cash on January 11, 2019 along Croal Street, Georgetown. The court also heard that during the commissioning of the robbery, he used personal violence.
The Police stated that the teenager was positively identified by the victim as the one who committed the act. However, Police Prosecutor Sanj Singh did not object to bail being granted to the teen.
As a result, the defendant was released on $40,000 bail and was ordered to report to the Brickdam Police Station on a weekly basis until completion of the matter. The case will continue on February 6, 2019 at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
