Turkeyen mason, 18, gets six months for robbery

A mason was yesterday sentenced to six months in jail after being on remand for a robbery he confessed to last September.

Eighteen-year-old Michael Gibbons of Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, was sentenced by Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus when he appeared at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court virtually.

In September, 2021, the man who told the court he is a mason, was charged with stealing a quantity of valuables amounting to $1.8 million from a woman. It was reported that he was among three persons who robbed her. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was remanded awaiting a probation report for sentencing.
