One year after testimony in the 2005 Customs House $10M armed robbery was halted, the prosecution yesterday announced that it was withdrawing the case against the two defendants as they could not contact their star witness.
The last time evidence was taken in the matter was last year February and Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton who was hearing the case in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court had stated that yesterday was the final date for the prosecution to get their witness on the stand to give his evidence. His absence had caused the case to be adjourned on several occasions.
