Teenagers remanded for robbing senior citizen

Two teenagers were remanded to prison on Thursday for allegedly robbing a 70-year-old man, while being armed with a knife.

Andrae Bobb, 17, and Darren Franklin, 18, both denied the charge when it was read to them by City Magistrate Faith McGusty.

The facts in the case stated that while being armed with a dangerous weapon at Quamina Street, Georgetown, they robbed Esrick Fyffe of one radio valued $2000 and $1690 in cash.

Bobb told the court he is employed as a gas station pump attendant and lives in ‘C’ Field Sophia, Georgetown, while his accomplice said he resides at Middle Road, La Penitence.

Police Prosecutor Ceon Blackmore, objected to bail on the grounds that they pose a flight risk.

They will return to court on July 18.
