A TEENAGER was sent to prison yesterday after being accused of stealing a woman’s car last month.
Glen Braynen, 18, faced Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on a charge of armed robbery.
It is alleged that on February 5 in New Providence, while armed with a handgun, the accused robbed Lisa Forbes of her silver coloured Hyundai Sonata.
As this is an indictable offence, Braynen was not required to enter a plea. The accused was informed that his case would be transferred to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
The accused was further told that as the chief magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail he had the right to apply for it through the higher court.
Until he is granted bail, the accused will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
He is expected to receive his VBI on May 18.
