Three men were taken before a city magistrate yesterday to answer to separate charges, including robbery of a school girl, and armed robbery.
Orin Favourite, called ‘Solo’, Devin Nurse, and Michael George were taken before Principal Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown.
Favourite was charged with robbing a school girl of a cellphone valued at over $30,000.
The police prosecutor told the court that the student was waiting to go home after school when she was robbed. Video footage of the robbery, which was shared on social media, shows the student standing in her school uniform, surrounded by other students, when a man walks up to the group, grabs the phone from her and walks away.
