[www.inewsguyana.com] – A Porter of Hogg Street, Albouystown, Georgetown, was remanded to prison by Magistrate Ann McLennan on a robbery charge.
Leon Vieira, 29, pleaded not guilty to the offence which alleged that on April 17, at Wellington Street, Georgetown, he robbed Mortimer Lucas of one Wrist Watch worth $60,000.
The Prosecutor objected to bail stating that the defendant gave the Police conflicting home addresses and may pose a flight risk. He also opposed the pretrial liberty citing the nature and gravity of the charge.
Bail was refused and the case was adjourned to May 9.
