Man remanded for robbing Chinese store of over $41M at gunpoint

Sep 26, 2013 News

 

 

A 24-year-old father of four, who robbed a Chinese store of over $41M in items ostensibly to provide for his children, will initially spend the next two weeks rethinking his decisions behind bars.
Kenrick Duncan, of Stevedore Housing Scheme, North Ruimveldt, was yesterday brought before Magistrate Fabayo Azore to face a robbery under arms charge at the Georgetown Magistrates’ court.
The court heard that on September 10 at Wellington and Charlotte Streets, the defendant, together with person or persons unknown, whilst being armed with a gun, robbed Hu Yu Nan, the owner of Lisa’s General Store, of a quantity of foreign currency, electronics and jewellery that amounted to over $41M.
Duncan was not required to plead to the indictable charge. Prosecutor Bharat Mangru objected to bail as he considered the seriousness and the prevalence of the offence.
He spoke the facts of the case which stated that on the said date, about 4:20 hours, the complainant was in a room in the store when the defendant and four other men who were armed with handguns, robbed the complainant and family of numerous items inclusive of cash in American, local and Suriname currency.
After securing the loot, the defendant and company then made good their escape.
However, on September 21, law enforcement officers who acted on information received, found the defendant in a house and discovered some of the items.
The proprietor of the store then identified the times to be his property.
The accused was then arrested and charged for the said offense.
The unrepresented defendant was subsequently remanded to prison and is scheduled to make his next appearance on October 8.
