Gopaul Seecharran, 20, a fisherman of Macy Dam, Rosignol Village, West Bank Berbice, was yesterday refused bail when he appeared in the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Mauricia Mittelholzer on three counts of robbery under arms.
It is alleged that on Sunday August 16, at Number 2 Village, West Coast Berbice, while in the company of other armed men, Seecharran robbed Neeranie Kadir of one gold finger ring valued at $40,000. He is also charged with robbing Alisha Kadir of a $10,000 gold chain.
Another charge reads that he robbed Shaneeza Kadir of one gold chain and two gold bangles valued at $160,000.
Police Prosecutor, Corporal Desiree Pilgrim objected to bail being granted to the defendant, stating the seriousness of the offence and that there are other charges pending.
She said if the accused is granted bail, there is a possibility that he will not attend court.
The matter has been transferred to the Blairmont Magistrate’s Court and comes up again on September 7.
The accused has a previous assault charge.
