An 18-year-old accused of robbing a man of his car has been granted $150,000 bail with his father standing as surety.
He appeared before a Master of the High Court this week charged with robbery with violence, malicious damage, and interfering with a motor vehicle. He was not called upon to plead.
As part of his bail conditions, the teenager must report to the Sangre Grande Police Station twice weekly between 6 am and 6 pm, live at a fixed address in the district, and observe a 9 pm to 5 am curfew.
The charges stem from an incident on September 11 when a man, who was plying his car for hire, picked up three passengers. He told the court that the men announced a robbery, placed him in a headlock, forced him out of the vehicle, and then drove away with it.
The matter was transferred to the Sangre Grande Magistrates’ Court and adjourned to October 15.
The post Teen granted bail on Sangre Grande robbery charges first appeared on CNC3.
