Woman robbed at Stabroek Market, thief remanded

May 25, 2013 News

Whilst a woman was on her way to Stabroek Market, Seon Davis, of 3512 Howes Street, Charlestown, reportedly pounced on the unsuspecting victim, sprayed a substance in her eyes, robbed her and made good his escape.
Yesterday when the defendant appeared before Chief Magistrate Priya Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court, he pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on May 20, at Stabroek Market Tarmac, he robbed Sabrina Persaud of one black and white hand bag, one Alcatel cell phone, $40,000 in currency, four passports, and two national identification cards among other articles.
Court documents stated that on the day in question, about 20:15 hours, the complainant was heading to the Stabroek market. At the time she had a shoulder bag on her arm.  The defendant then reportedly approached her and sprayed a substance in her face which burned profusely.
He reportedly proceeded to relieve her of the articles. The matter was reported and investigations which followed, lead to the arrest of the defendant. The articles were not recovered.
The prosecution objected to bail considering the punishment the felony attracts and that if granted bail there is a high likelihood that Davis may not return for his trial.
The prosecution’s objection was upheld by the court and Davis was remanded.
The case was transferred to another court for report and fixture on May 30.
