Jan 30, 2015 News

The four men who were held in a taxi service’s car on Tuesday, with a quantity of household items, have been charged with the robbery committed on a Chinese Restaurant the day before.
The men Carl Mangal, 24, a labourer of Lyng Street, Charlestown; Gregory Simmons, 42, a cook of 156 Curtis Street, Albouystown; Curt Grant, 41, a taxi driver of 136 East Ruimveldt and Joel Grannum, 25, a labourer of 27 Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice were charged with robbery under arms.
Particulars of the charge reveal that the men are charged for robbery committed on Chinese national Tai Hong Fen, 49, owner of the Four Seas Restaurant at Edinburgh, East Bank Berbice, on January 26.
They are accused of stealing $300,000 worth in cash and cell phone cards and a cell phone worth $40,000.
According to information, around 22:00hrs on Sunday, five unmasked armed bandits entered the restaurant and brutally beat the owner, robbing him of the items mentioned before escaping.
During the ordeal which lasted about 30 minutes the men also brutalized Tai Hong Fen’s 14-year-old daughter.
Tai and his daughter were taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital where they were treated and sent away.
When police apprehended the men, they found Tai’s cell phone on one of them.
In opposing bail, Prosecutor Sergeant Phillip Sheriff told the court that the men are not from the area and are known convicts.  They were denied their pre-trial liberty, and will appear again in court on February 16.
