A fourth man was yesterday charged for allegedly staging a daylight robbery at the Bank of Baroda branch at Montrose, East Coast Demerara, two weeks ago.
Shawn Harris a/k “Bruk Up”, 27, of Pike Street, Kitty, Georgetown had been wanted by police in connection with the crime. He subsequently turned himself in.
Harris was remanded to prison after appearing before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court.
Three other men were also charged last week with the armed robbery. They too were remanded to prison.
They are Sean Anthony Aaron a/k Ninja or Ratty, 34, of Lot 317 North East La Penitence, Georgetown; Kennard Jabar, 28, of Lot 88 Freeman Street, East La Penitence and Eon Campbell,39, of Campbellville.
It is alleged that on January 22, at Mon Repos, the men while being in the company of others and armed with a gun, robbed Raywattie Lall and Latchmie Mohabir of over $2M—property of Bank of Baroda. They were further accused of stealing a .32 Taurus revolver belonging to Roshan Khan, from Shirley Lucas, a security guard who was on duty at the time of the robbery.
The quartet was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
They will make their next court appearance on February 18.
Police are still on the hunt for Timothy Asher Morrison. He is being sought for questioning in relation to the robbery under-arms.
It was reported that Campbell, a graphic artist, who operates a tint shop was the alleged accomplice of the other accused. He reportedly supplied false number plates for their getaway car.
According to reports, four armed men stormed the bank around 12:50hrs on January 22.They held up the lone security guard and relieved her of the .32 Taurus revolver before turning their attention to the female tellers. During the five-minute ordeal the men relived the bank staff of over $2M before making their escape in a Toyota Premio motor vehicle bearing a false number plate PNN 8984.
Two of the accused reportedly told investigators that the cash was divided at the home of one of the gang members in North East La Penitence. Police have obtained two caution statements and an oral confession from the men.
Jabar, a former Office of the President driver, is no stranger to law enforcement. Back in 2013, he was charged with possession of illegal firearm and ammunition.
