A taxi driver was yesterday brought before the courts for allegedly robbing a cambio dealer of a hefty sum of cash.
At the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, 19-year-old Teairri Cush, of Lot 265 Independence Boulevard was charged and brought before the Chief Magistrate, Priya Sewnarine-Beharry for Robbery under Arms.
The police claimed that on December 19, at Robb Street, Georgetown, whilst in the company of others and armed with a gun, he relieved Naresh Singh of $1M, money belonging to Mark Smith.
According to the prosecution which at this court hearing was headed by Corporal Bharat Mangru, on the day in question, Cush, a taxi driver, was operating a motor car. At the time, he said Cush was in the company of others when one of the men in the car requested that Singh change US$5,000.
Singh then entered the vehicle and they drove off with him. Whilst in the car, the male occupant placed a gun to the dealer and robbed him of the cash. They then allegedly dropped him off at Kingston.
Cush’s lawyer relayed a different version of events as he made an application for reasonable bail. Attorney at Law George Thomas said that his client’s car was hijacked and that his client was held at gunpoint and forced to transport the robbers.
Thomas claimed that immediately after the incident, his client went to the station to report what had occurred. According to the lawyer, his client was however slapped with the present charge.
The Chief Magistrate remanded Cush to prison until January 21, 2014.
