-accused of seizing three gold chains from one complainant
A 22-year-old man was remanded to prison after appearing before Acting Chief Magistrate Faith McGusty at the George-town Magistrate’s Court on four counts of armed robbery.
Yohance Yarris, an unemployed father of one, was charged with multiple robberies allegedly committed between September 2024 and June 2025.
The first charge alleges that on September 26, 2024, at Shopping Lane, West Ruimveldt, Yarris, while in the company of another, robbed Arian Grannum of three gold chains valued at $1.1 million.
It is also alleged that on February 19, at East Ruimveldt, he robbed Adrian Ally of an iPhone 14 Pro Max valued at $200,000.
It is also alleged that on June 8, 2024, at Lot 234 Cane View Avenue, South Ruimveldt, Yarris allegedly robbed Shane Stuart of an iPhone valued at $220,000, an Apple Watch worth $120,000, a pair of fourth-generation AirPods valued at $60,000, a haversack worth $40,000, a bottle of whiskey valued at $25,000, and a laptop worth $80,000.
He is also accused of robbing Stanley Stuart of a Samsung phone valued at $120,000, cologne worth $22,000, and $18,000 in cash.
Yarris pled not guilty to all charges.
In a bail application, his attorney argued that he is not a flight risk and has no known previous convictions. However, the prosecution objected to bail, citing the seriousness of the offences and the fact that the defendant had been previously charged with similar crimes and was wanted by the police for some time.
Given his prior record and the fact that law enforcement had been actively searching for him, Magistrate McGusty denied bail and remanded Yarris until April 4.
