Ex-convict charged with nine armed robberies

Travis Payne

An ex-convict was refused bail yesterday after being faced with 11 charges, including nine counts of armed robbery.

Travis Payne, 26, of 461 West Ruimveldt, was not required to plead to any of the charges, which were read to him by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus.

The charges date back to October 10th, 2018, when Payne is alleged to have used a gun to rob Mohammed Ishmael of a cellphone, valued $40,000, at West Ruimveldt, Georgetown.

It was also alleged that on the very next day, while in lawful custody at East Ruimveldt Police Outpost for an alleged armed robbery, he escaped.
