Meanwhile, in the Robbery with Violence case, it is alleged that at 18:30h on April 28, 2024 Landry robbed Gerald Joseph Campbell at City Hall, Regent Street. The accused reportedly stole a cellular phone worth $23,500, $40,000 in cash and US$100.
It was further alleged that Landry resorted to violence during the robbery. The total value of the stolen items amounted to $83,500.
Landry also pleaded not guilty to this charge.
The accused told the court that he has no family support. Further, the prosecutor disclosed that the man lives in an abandoned building on Vlissengen Road. Given the nature of the offences, Landry was remanded to prison.
He is scheduled to return to court on May 21, 2024.
