‘Con Artist’ claims he was robbed

Mar 31, 2013 News

Richard Harold, a resident of 22 Hadfield Street, pleaded not guilty last Thursday to the allegation of robbery under arms with a dangerous weapon when he appeared before Magistrate Sueanna Lovell at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
According to police reports, the defendant, on March 28, robbed Christopher Lowe of $50,000, two gold rings worth $156,000, one gold chain worth $356,000, one Fossil watch worth $160,000, one Blackberry cell phone worth $120,000, one Samsung Galaxy cell phone worth $140,000, and other articles. The matter was reported and the defendant was arrested and charged for the offence.
Appearing for the defendant was Mark Waldron who related to the court that his client is most “certainly innocent.”
The defendant and the complainant are currently sorting out another issue which involves a “bounced cheque.” The lawyer also told the court that on the day in question he escorted Harold to the station.
“And if the complainant is claiming that he was robbed of his jeans and boxers, he would have obviously appeared at the station half naked and that was not the case.”
The lawyer also brought to the court’s attention that the complainant who claims he was robbed of   $5.2 million is also wanted by the police for several reports against him for “bounced cheques.”
The defendant’s lawyer requested reasonable bail.
Prosecutor, Alexis David–Hossanah had no objection to the bail application, based on the fact that the police were indeed looking for Lowe, the said complainant in connection with the “bounced cheques and other similar reports.”
The defendant was subsequently granted bail in the sum of $50,000 and is due to return to court on May 8.
