Taxi driver remanded for armed robbery

Jun 01, 2012 News

 

 

A 29-year-old taxi driver was yesterday remanded to jail after appearing before Magistrate Hazel Octive- Hamilton at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, on armed robbery charges. Owen Irving, of Charlotte Street, Georgetown, was charged with the offences which he reportedly committed against Ragon Ashley, Desmond Wilson and Lesley Campbell, respectively.
The charge read that on May 28 at David Street, Kitty, the man robbed Wilson of one BlackBerry cell phone, $65,000 cash, an identification card, US visa card and a Scotiabank ATM card, totaling $195,000.
On the same day at the said location, reportedly armed with a gun, Irving robbed Ashley of $10,000 cash.
Campbell lost US$110 ($22,000) and $130,000 cash, when the accused at the said location on the same date allegedly robbed the victim with a gun.
Irving made an application for bail. He related his particulars to the court but could not remember the lot number to his address. That information, being imperative for the granting of bail, was not related to the court. The accused was therefore unable to secure his pre-trial liberty.
The prosecutor requested that the accused be remanded to jail based on the prevalence and seriousness of the offences.
The accused was remanded and will return to Court today.
