Four men, including a Region One businessman and a policeman, were remanded to prison yesterday after they were charged jointly with the Matthews Ridge airstrip robbery in which over $18 million in raw gold was stolen.
Businessman Baldeo Francis, 37, policeman Kurt Nedd, 27, Ramesh Singh, 45, and Leron Campbell, 26, were not required to plead to the indictable charge that on November 11th, 2019, at Matthews Ridge, North West District, while being armed with guns, they robbed Jose De Costa of $95,000 and a quantity of raw gold valued $18 million, which were the property of Deonarine Sukraj.
The quartet appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty, who read the charge in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court Five.
