A resident of Goed Fortuin, West Bank Demerara, who used a toy gun to rob a man of his cellular phone, was yesterday sentenced to six months imprisonment by Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
De Macy, also called Ivor Martin, pleaded not guilty when he first appeared in court late last year.
The charge detailed that on October 9, 2013 at Lombard and Schumacker Streets, Georgetown while being armed with a gun, he robbed Shameer Khan Shafeek of a $15,000 cellular phone.
Reports are that the victim was sitting in a car when he was approached by Martin, who, armed with a toy gun, demanded that he hand over his possessions. The victim reportedly became afraid and complied.
Martin then fled the scene but was caught by public spirited citizens who handed him over to the police. During the trial, Police Prosecutor Corporal Deniro Jones called four witnesses and managed to establish the case of Robbery under Arms against Martin.
In determining the sentence, the Magistrate considered that Martin had spent some time in prison on remand.
