Four men, suspected to be members of a group that allegedly committed numerous armed robberies in the West Demerara district, were yesterday charged and remanded to prison.
Leon Williams, Jermaine Bailey, Compton Semple and Oral Softleigh appeared before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court charged with the robbery committed on a Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara (WCD) family last Friday and another at an Anna Catherina, WCD supermarket late last month.
Bailey was also separately charged with the illegal possession of a firearm and a quantity of ammunition. This matter was transferred to the Wales Magistrate’s Court for May 29, while the others were adjourned until June 5.
