A young man who claims he was wrongfully arrested by police has been released on bail after a court heard that he snatched a woman’s shoulder bag.
Joshua Haynes, 20, of Lot 173 Pineapple Street, East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was placed on $100,000 bail by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Courts and denied the robbery charge.
It is alleged that on July 3, at Thomas and Middle streets, Georgetown, he stole from the person of a woman, a shoulder bag valued at $2,000, containing a cellphone valued $10,000, cosmetics valued $2,000 and $119,000 cash.
