Teen placed on bail after Shell Road robbery
Antonio Maraj, 18, was released on bail yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, following a charge of larceny from Hawwattie Persaud, at Agricola.
Police prosecutor Corporal Bharat Mangru, said that on June 30, last, at Shell Road Agricola, Maraj robbed Hawwattie Persaud of one Blackberry torch, one handbag, one leather purse, one umbrella, medication, cosmetics, a scientific calculator, along with $30,000 in cash and US$50 cash.
Maraj, a resident of 25 Public Road, Agricola, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
His lawyer Paul Fung-a-Fat, pleaded for his client’s bail due to his tender age and him having no prior breaches with the law.
Prosecutor Bharat Mangru, objected to the defendant’s bail due to the seriousness and prevalence of the offence, and indicated that the defendant and victim had known each other, so tampering may occur.
Magistrate Fabayo Azore placed Maraj on $150,000 bail and transferred the case to another court.
