A youth was on Monday freed of one of the robbery charges pending against him after the virtual complainant was compensated for the articles stolen from her.

Daniel McArthur, who was placed on $150,000 bail, was freed of the robbery charge when the matter was called before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown.

The charge stated that on April 29, at North Road, Georgetown, McArthur stole two gold chains, valued $224,000, from Janetta Morris.
