An 18-month prison sentence was yesterday meted out to a robber who claimed he snatched a woman’s chain to make “fast-money” to feed his three children.
Appearing before Magistrate Allan Wilson at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, Ron Roland, 25, said he knew his actions were wrong but he felt he had no alternative, since he was left to care for the children on his own after their mother walked out on him.
Roland was charged with robbing Ayesha Kendall on June 26, 2012, of a gold chain valued $75,000.
The court heard that at about 5:30pm
