Man accused of stealing bogus gold jewellery

Oct 24, 2012 News

The court yesterday heard an allegation that assuming that the jewellery which Charlene Williams had been wearing was genuine gold, 19-year-old Prince Pickering robbed the woman of her belongings.
As a result, he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court charged with the offence.
According to the prosecution, Williams was walking along Brickdam dressed in artificial gold jewellery when the accused came up from behind her, snatched a chain and pulled of a band which was valued at just over $1000 and ran away. The woman raised an alarm and got the attention of police ranks, who were on patrol in the area. The ranks gave chase and caught Pickering with pieces of the jewellery in his hand.
The accused pleaded not guilty to the charge when he faced Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
When questioned about his past, the man told the court that he had been charged before for drug possession and assault.
However, police information is that the defendant had been arrested on three separate occasions, but was never convicted of any crime. Pickering was released on $10,000 bail and was ordered to return to court on November 1.
