Shakeem David

Shakeem David of Lot 37 Fourth Street, Alberttown, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Annette Singh at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday, where he was charged with larceny.

It was alleged that on August 27, at Hadfield Street, Lodge, Georgetown, while armed with a gun, he robbed Mark Ramroop of one Samsung phone, valued $100,000, one Apple laptop valued $135,000, and one motorcycle valued at $100,000, the total value being $335,000.

The prosecutor objected to bail, saying that this is not David’s first run-in with the law, and that he had a previous charge of larceny. In addition, mention was made of the seriousness of the offence.
