Magistrate Priya Beharry remanded a 17-year-old girl for robbery under arms on Thursday.
The teen who lives in Queen Street, Kitty is accused of committing a robbery on Tuesday, 5th August, 2008. She and others allegedly robbed Kenrick Prescod of one gold chain valued at $150,000; one cell phone valued at $36,000, and one gold ring valued at $73,000.  They are also accused of relieving him of $38,000 in cash.
Prosecutor Denise Griffith said that Prescod saw the defendant at the bus park, when she approached him and a conversation was started. All this while a male was in her company, the prosecutor said.
The teen reportedly then asked Prescod to follow her to the bank. While at the bank, she reportedly asked to borrow Prescod’s mobile phone to make a call. Prescod later reported that he does not know whom she called.
It was while there were walking back to the park that two men approached them and proceeded to rob Prescod. The prosecutor said the defendant also helped rob Prescod.  In her defense, the defendant said that she was also robbed and that she shared a relationship with Prescod.
She was, nevertheless, remanded to prison, and is to return to court on August 25, 2008.

Prosecutor Sherwin Matthews said that, on the day of the robbery, the two drove up alongside Henry in a heavily tinted car as he was about to drive off.
The two reportedly ordered him off the bike, and proceeded to rob him.
On August 8 last, at about 23:40hrs, they were both arrested by the police with the said scooter in their possession.
Henry is said to have positively identified Bishop and Forde. They have been remanded until August 25.
Also, Derrick Norton, of 146 Cooper Street Albouystown, was remanded to prison for allegedly committing a robbery along with others on July 19, 2008.

On Monday, August 11, the victims pointed out Norton to the police. He was told of the offence and was subsequently charged. He was remanded to prison until August 25.
