Teen remanded for robbing sisters

A teenager of Sophia, Greater Georgetown, was on Wednesday before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts charged for robbing two sisters last month.
Chris Fernandez, 19, of E Field, Sophia, denied that he robbed Jacqueline and Elizabeth Percival on December 3, 2017, at their Lamaha Springs, Georgetown home.
The prosecution is contending that the two sisters were awoken at about 02:00h by three men, who were already in their flat concrete home. Two of the men were armed. The men then proceed to bind their hands with scotch tape. As the others were ransacking the house for valuables, one of the men held the sisters at gunpoint.
They escaped with $1.6 million worth of jewellery and cash. Following investigations, Police arrested Fernandez and he was charged. He appeared before Magistrate Fabayo Azore and denied the offence but was nonetheless remanded to prison. The case will continue on January 31.
