(CMR) A male juvenile who was wanted in connection with robbery incidents that took place on 8 December in Prospect and George Town is facing multiple charges after he was arrested last week.
He has been charged with robbery, possession of an imitation firearm, and two counts of attempting to obtain property by deception, in relation to attempts made to access funds using an ATM card stolen during the incident.
Reports are that officers with the Firearm Response Unit, while carrying out patrols on Friday, 30 December, observed the juvenile male at a residence in Prospect. He was taken into custody.
A 21-year-old man from George Town was arrested along with the juvenile male on suspicion of accessory after the fact of robbery for assisting the juvenile male in evading arrest. He has been formally charged with accessory after the fact of robbery as well as possession of ganja.
The police are reminding the public that it is a crime to assist a person attempting to evade arrest or to obstruct officers’ efforts to make an arrest. Any person doing so will be arrested and prosecuted.
Both remain in custody and are appearing in court on Tuesday, 3 January.
Armed robberies increased significantly last year, with several businesses attacked.
