A 33-year-old man from South Ruimveldt, identified as John Sampson of Congress Drive, is granted bail after being charged with robbery under arms. According to reports, the charge stems from an incident in Herstelling, East Bank Demerara, where a 30-year-old woman is robbed outside a supermarket. One outlet says the incident involves a knife at knifepoint, while both accounts describe it as an armed robbery. Sampson appears in the Diamond Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Dylon Bess on Friday. He is read the charge and pleads not guilty. Kaieteur News reports that police place him on $100,000 bail, and both sources indicate the case proceeds from that court appearance. The reports attribute the robbery to an event committed the previous day, involving the victim outside the supermarket in Herstelling. No conviction is reported, and the bail decision is presented as occurring at the time of his initial court appearance.
