One week after teenager Marks Gravesande was charged with an armed robbery offence, his alleged accomplice was brought before the courts and charged with the same offence.
Joshua Perreira appeared before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court Five and denied the charge after it was read to him.
It is alleged that on January 17th, 2020, at Saffon Street, La Penitence, while in the company of others and armed with a cutlass, he robbed Patricia Abrahams of $150,000 cash, a gold chain valued $40,000, a gold ring valued $54,000, a bag valued $2,000 and a cellphone valued $65,000, property of Omianna Dyeram.
Prosecutor Delon Sullivan objected to him being released citing that a dangerous weapon was used and the prevalence of the crime committed.
As a result, Perreira was remanded to prison and told that his next scheduled court appearance will be on February 12th, 2020.
Gravesande was charged last week with the same offence and was also remanded.
