A teen of Number Two Village, East Canje Berbice was remanded to prison in connection with the recent robbery carried out on a young couple from Cumberland Village, East Canje.
Mark Griffith, 19, appeared at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on Monday to answer to the charge of robbery under arms.
However, Prosecutor Godfrey Playter opposed bail on the basis of the nature and prevalence of the offence, being that a gun was allegedly used in carrying out the crime.
Magistrate Alex Moore remanded Griffith to prison until his next court date, October 21.
It is alleged that Griffith in the company of others, entered the home of Navendra Singh, known as ‘Suresh Blingers’, 27, of Lot 74 Bristol Street, Cumberland Village on September 20 and robbed him of cash, jewellery and electronics that amounted to $500,000.
