A man who is no stranger to the court for robbery under arms matters will spend the next 56 months in prison after being found guilty of such an offence.
Marlon Persaud, 25, of West Ruimveldt Front Road was sentenced yesterday when he appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
The court heard that on Saturday, May 5, at Freeman Street, East La Penitence, Melissa Samuels and Rovin Harry were walking when Persaud held them up with an ice pick. Harry was relieved of her BlackBerry cell phone valued at $100,000, a gold chain worth $16,000 and a $3,000 hand bag. Samuels was also relieved of a $100,000 BlackBerry.
Persaud made his first appearance on May 11 before the Chief Magistrate and the matter was transferred to Court 3 where the trial commenced. The court was told that immediately after the incident the victims reported the matter to the police, who visited Persaud’s home. The suspect was arrested after admitting to the allegations put to him.
