A labourer accused of beating a woman as he robbed her was granted bail when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
Travis Allen, 23, of Front Road, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty and pleaded not guilty to the robbery with violence charge. It is alleged that on August 18th at Forshaw Street, Georgetown, he robbed Naresha Parks of a bag containing $43,000 in cash, a car key, and an iPhone valued $170,000, during which time he used violence towards the victim.
Attorney Clive Ford entered an appearance for Allen and told the court that his client is a labourer at Bourda Market. He said that Allen has never had any issues with the law and would show up to court on every occasion if he was granted bail.
