Three men were yesterday sentenced to three years in jail for armed robbery in an attack where a minibus driver and four passengers were held at gun-point.
Eon Trotman, Anthony Daymon and Kevin Abrams were found guilty of the December 16th, 2017 attack, which occurred at McDoom.
The police had said that as the vehicle approached McDoom, the suspects requested to be dropped off at Middle Street, Mc Doom. As the bus stopped for them to disembark, one of the suspects whipped out a firearm and relieved the driver of $4,000 in cash and the other victims of two cell phones and their handbags containing valuables and fled.
The police in a press release said that the suspects were apprehended in a house at Agricola, East Bank Demerara, after being pursued by ranks of a mobile patrol. “A passing police patrol, commanded by a police corporal, pursued the suspects and soon after arrested them in a house,” the statement said.
At the time of arrest, “the suspect with the firearm, was comfortably covered with a sheet, pretending to be sleeping whilst the others in whose possession the stolen items were found, were relaxing as if nothing ever happened,” the statement added.
