Movie Town proprietor charged with receiving stolen property

Oct 23, 2009 News

The proprietor of Movie Town Video Club, Roby Singh, appeared in court on Tuesday charged with receiving stolen property knowing that it was stolen.
An earlier report had suggested that Singh had been taken to court to answer a charge of robbery committed on Rondell Albert.
On September 30 last, Albert was robbed at his place of business of a large quantity of merchandise valued at $16m.
He reported the incident to the Brickdam Police Station and soon after the perpetrator was caught. He was later identified as Vickram Persaud of D’Abreu Street, Newtown.
But before he was apprehended by police ranks, Persaud managed to sell a $1 million projector which he had reportedly stolen from Albert.
Singh was identified as the buyer and was subsequently charged.
Both appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to the related charges.
Prosecutor Krishnadat Ramana stated that Vickram Persaud entered Albert’s place of business with a gun and robbed him.
The prosecutor also stated that the accused tied Albert’s hands and feet with a rope and gathered the items before making his escape.
“All the items are lodged at the Brickdam police station and I would like these two to get sentence so I could retrieved my property, since I’m scheduled to leave the country in two weeks,” Albert told the court.
Singh, the Movie Town owner, was placed on $200,000 bail and ordered to return on October 28.
