Three teens remanded for pawn shop robbery

May 28, 2010 News

Three teenagers accused of robbing the First Choice Pawn Shop were all remanded to prison when they appeared before Magistrate Hazel Octive Hamilton, at the Georgetown Magistrates Court.
Avinash Ramcharran, 19, of Cummings Lodge East Coast Demerara, Jermaine Canterbury, 17, of Hogg Street Albouystown and Leonard Allicock, 17, of Independence Boulevard, were not required to plead to the indictable charge of robbery under arms.
The allegation was that on May 21, the three who were armed with handguns robbed Rajendra Singh of gold jewellery valued at $2.4M.
It was further alleged that the men stole a cell phone valued at $10,000 and $100,000 in cash.
Their lawyer Mohamed Zafar in a bail application told the court, that none of his clients were known to the police.
He added that no statements were made against his clients by the virtual complainant. Mohamed asked for reasonable bail since none of his clients were a flight risk.
However Police Prosecutor Joel Ricknauth objected to bail. The prosecutor explained that Ramcharran and Canterbury both signed a caution statement.
Bail was refused. They are all expected to make another court appearance on June 7.
On Friday last, two armed bandits carted off a quantity of gold jewellery and cash from the First Choice Pawn Shop.
The men fled with their booty from the scene in a gold coloured AT 192 Carina.
Eyewitnesses had told this newspaper that two men ran into the business entity and forced their way through a door and into the cashier area where they stuck up the teller with a gun and later ran to a getaway car.
This was the first time that the pawn shop was robbed.
