Home News Teen on bail for attempted robbery
A young man of Lot 121 Vryheid’s Lust, East Coast Demerara, was released on 0,000 when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for attempting to commit a felony.
Travis Sears, 18, pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that December 2, 2016, at Croal Street, Georgetown, he attempted to rob Gavin Peters while being armed with a knife.
The Prosecution stated that on the day in question the teen attacked Peters while he was walking along Croal Street.
The defence attorney in attempting to secure bail told the court that his client has a fixed place of abode and his client has no pending matters or has ever been convicted of any criminal offence.
The prosecution however vehemently noted that the accused gave Police his home address as Lot 121 South Ruimveldt ant not the address established as by Police. The Prosecution objected to bail on the grounds the accused is trying to mislead the court.
The Defence attorney outlined to court that there must be a mixed-up in addresses since his client only have one fixed place of abode.
Magistrate Faith Mcgusty granted the teenager bail and ordered that he return to court on December 21, 2016.
