A 33-year-old mason was remanded to prison after it was alleged he committed a robbery near the Stabroek Bazaar.
Lonsdale Browne, of UU Durban Street, made an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
The charge stated that on March 22, at Georgetown, together with an accomplice, Browne robbed Rashid Ali of one gold chain valued $160,000.
Browne pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him by the magistrate.
Corporal Bharrat Mangru said that the defendant and the victim are known to each other. He said that Ali was walking in the vicinity of the Stabroek Bazaar when the defendant along with another man approached him and snatched his chain. The chain burst and fell to the ground, and as the victim attempted to pick up the chain, the accused picked up a piece of wood and dealt him several lashes about the body.
The victim positively identified the defendant as the one who carried out the unlawful act, and he was subsequently arrested and charged.
The defendant’s lawyer Paul Fung-a-Fat asked that his client be released on reasonable bail, since a gun was not used to commit the robbery. Bail was denied.
Browne will make his next appearance before Magistrate Annette Singh on April 7.
