Repeat offender remanded over armed robbery

A 19-year-old was remanded on a charge of robbery under arms when he appeared before Magistrate Melissa Robertson-Ogle yesterday.

It is alleged that on April 4 Brenton Charles along with two others robbed Tameshwar Jargoo of one silver chain and one Motorola cell phone valued at $34,000. Charles, a bus conductor of 1065 Diamond Housing Scheme, begged the magistrate for bail saying that he was a “malaria patient” and needed to get his treatment.
