The Court heard that on the day in question, at around 11:00 hrs, Jacobs was in a taxi when the accused approached and snatched her gold band.
He was later pointed out by the taxi driver with whom Jacobs was travelling.
Washington who was on remand throughout his trial was convicted before for a similar offence.
