Troy Glasgow, an East Ruimveldt man who was charged with committing two knife-point robberies, was yesterday sentenced to 18 months in jail after being found guilty of the crimes.
Glasgow, of Lot 352 East Ruimveldt, was sentenced by Magistrate Dylon Bess in Georgetown.
It was alleged that on July 31, 2020, at East Ruimveldt, while armed with a knife and in the company of another armed with a cutlass, Glasgow robbed Leon Singh of two cellphones, worth $38,000.
He was sentenced to nine months in prison for the crime.
It was also alleged that on the same day and at the same place, Glasgow, armed with a knife and in the company of another armed with a cutlass, robbed Parsram Singh of $143,000 in cash, a cellphone valued $65,000 and a driver’s licence.
He was subsequently sentenced to 18 months in prison for the offence.
The two sentences are to run concurrently, so Glasgow will only serve 18 months in jail for the crimes.
