Three plead guilty to Berbice armed robberies

– sentenced to 21 years in prison

At the Albion Court yesterday, Magistrate Chandra Sohan sentenced three men to 21 years imprisonment each after they pleaded guilty to three counts of robbery under arms and possession of firearm and ammunition. However, since two of the sentences will run concurrently, the defendants will only serve eight years in jail each.

The court heard that on April 21, Gavin Foster, 25, of 28 Ujaama Housing Scheme, LBI, East Coast Demerara; Wilfred Sandy, 26 of Number 51 Village and Wayne Winter, 19 of 61 Albert Street Number 71 Village, Corentyne robbed Kampta Rambarose of $10,000.
