Carjacking suspects remanded

Apr 23, 2013 News

 

Appearing yesterday before Magistrate Allan Wilson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court, were Jimmy Rollins, 28 and Daniel Mohamed, 24 of Front Road and Mandela Avenue, charged with carjacking; they were remanded.
According to the Prosecution, on April 17 in the Meadow Bank area, Raymond Hooper was allegedly robbed by the two defendants. Hooper was operating a taxi HB 6486, outside of Demico House when he was hired by a woman to go to Meadow Bank. Once there, he was confronted by four men armed with hand guns.
They allegedly dealt Hooper several blows to the head and relieved him of two cell phones, his car and $60,000. Hooper was then bound and dumped in a nearby dam. He was later found by a passer-by.
The matter was reported to the police and investigations led to the arrest of Rollins and Mohamed who were later charged with the said offence. They are expected to return to court on April 30.
Further, in the arraignment of Dwayne Henry and Oswin Adams, who appeared yesterday before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court, they were remanded for the charges of robbery underarms and possession of firearm without a licence.
The two defendants, who are both residents of the Annandale community, were not required to plead to the robbery under arms charge which was deemed an indictable matter.
The charge stated that on April 18, the defendants, with a loaded gun, allegedly robbed Elvin Alert of one Samsung cell phone worth $20,000 and one Nokia cell phone.  On the same day, the duo reportedly robbed Vlandamir Davidson of one Toyota car HC 1720 and other articles.
The defendants were subsequently arrested in the Cummings Lodge District. A search was conducted and police found a .38 live round and one .38 revolver for which neither of the defendants had a licence.
To the two counts of robbery, both pleaded not guilty.
The possession of firearm and ammunition charge was transferred to Sparendaam Magistrate’s court for April 26 and for the indictable matter the defendants will return to the Georgetown Magistrates’ court on April 29.
