International footballer, Jobe Caesar, had his bail revoked yesterday, after breaching a restraining order pertaining to his ex-girlfriend and failing to obey the conditions of the bail.

The charge against the 19-year-old stated that he, on November 25, 2018, at 178 Albert and Charlotte streets, Georgetown, allegedly damaged a motor car valued $3.5 million, which belongs to Jennifer Validum.

It is also alleged that on the same date and at the same place, while being armed with a gun, Caesar robbed Validum of her cellphone, valued $30,000.

Caesar, who was represented by attorney Paul Fung-A-Fat during his arraignment before Magistrate Faith McGusty, had pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was remanded on the first occasion but eventually granted bail in the sum of $150,000.

However, Jobe breached the restraining order and disobeyed the conditions of the bail. He told the court that he was caught up with his training.

The teen was remanded to prison again by Magistrate Faith McGusty, and was told to return to court on April 3, 2019.
