Duo denies robbing GuyExpo patrons
Two persons were yesterday indicted for crimes committed at the Sophia exhibition site during the recent GuyExpo event.
Esan Lawrence is accused of stealing a gold band valued at $90,000 which belonged to Rakesh Ramnarine. Lawrence denied the allegation when he appeared before Magistrate (ag) Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
However, the court was told that while Ramnarine was at GuyExpo last Sunday, Lawrence went up to him and “snatched” his gold band which he quickly handed over to an accomplice. The complainant wasted no time and pointed out the suspect to police ranks on duty at the site. The defendant was apprehended and charged. He was permitted bail in the sum of $150,000.
The other defendant, Daniel Burban, allegedly robbed Jamaica Jacobs of a Blackberry Curve cellular phone valued at $64,000.
Burban pleaded not guilty to the charge and was released on $100,000 bail. Both defendants are scheduled to make their next court appearance on October 12.
