Hosea Hopkinson, the bus conductor who was charged with robbing a woman outside of a pizzeria on Sheriff Street last Monday, was yesterday granted his release on bail and just hours later he was charged with a similar crime.
Hopkinson, 28, of Lot 7 Perry Street, Tucville, was charged last week with stealing a $30,000 handbag, a $64,000 Samsung smartphone, a passport, and $140,000 from Lystra Crandon on November 7th. He was yesterday granted his release on $70,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in a Georgetown court.
Hopkinson had previously pleaded not guilty to the offence and continually denied that he was involved in the crime, which occurred as Crandon and her children sat in front of the pizzeria.
