To Steal An Iphone
posted (August 12, 2019)
20 year old Iguana Street resident Vanny Thomas was charged with attempted robbery for trying to steal a woman's I-phone. He appeared today before Magistrate Emerson Banner. Thomas pleaded not guilty to the charge. The prosecutor corporal Carlos Poot, objected to bail on the ground that the offence has become prevalent. Thomas was unable to give a good reason why he should be granted bail, so Magistrate Banner upheld the objection and he remanded Thomas until September 12.

The incident occurred on Saturday morning. The complainant, 30 year American national Dr. Diana Huynh, reported to the police that she was walking at the corner of Newtown Barracks and Eve Street when someone came from behind and grabbed her by her right shoulder and spun her around. She said the person punched her on the right side of her jaw and she fell to the ground. She said that while she was on the ground the person stood over her and demanded that she give up her gold $1,000 dollar I-phone. She said she began to kick and scream and the person ran off. While she was at the police station making the report she saw a young man who fitted the description of her assailant and she identified him to the police.
