Two men remanded over armed robbery cases

Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton yesterday ordered that two men, one accused of using a knife to rob another man of a gold chain and a quantity of cash, while another accused of using a cutlass to rob a woman of a quantity of gold jewellery in separate incidents, be remanded to prison when they appeared before her at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court.

Twenty-two-year-old Crisco Hinds of Kitty and Gavin Hinckson, called `Juk-up’, of Pike Street, Kitty, were not required to plead to separate indictable charges of robbery underarms.

It is alleged that on December 6, Hinds used a cutlass to rob Telesha Samuels of four gold rings and a gold chain, with a total value of $214,000.

It is also alleged that on October 4, Hinckson used a knife to rob Santosh Outar of a gold chain, a cell phone and a quantity of US and Canadian currency, totalling over $497,000 in value.

The two men were ordered to appear back in court on December 16.
