56 months for armed robber

Aug 26, 2015 News

For the year so far, there has been an alarming number of robbery under-arms cases heard at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts. Every day there are cases of such nature and most of the perpetrators are between the ages of 18 and 25.
Yesterday was no different, as 20-year-old Keon Simon was jailed for 56 months after he was found guilty for robbery under-arms.
Simon, of 53 West La Penitence Housing Scheme, robbed Marcia Rampersaud at gunpoint on June 3, 2015. He stole two gold rings valued $40,000 and a white metal gold chain valued $20,000, property of the said Rampersaud.
The sentence was handed down by City Magistrate Judy Latchman.
Magistrate Latchman took into consideration all mitigating factors and informed the court of her guilty ruling. The Magistrate also emphasised that based on the prevalence of the offence she would impose the sentence on the defendant.
