Convict to serve three years after admitting to spate of armed robberies

Travis Payne

A convict was yesterday sentenced to three years behind bars after admitting to 10 charges, including eight counts of armed robbery.

Travis Payne, 27, of 46 West Ruimveldt, had been charged on June 24th with the crimes and was set to be tried before Magistrate Annette Singh in George-town.

However, Payne, who is currently serving a sentence for robbery, had a change of heart and opted to plead guilty to the charges, which also included one count of discharging a loaded firearm and another charge of escaping police custody.
