A MAN accused of committing a spree of armed robberies in August will be formally arraigned in the Supreme Court in two weeks.

Chino Milord, 19, appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt yesterday for a voluntary bill of indictment presentation regarding each of his cases concerning ten counts of armed robbery.

It is alleged that the Sutton Street resident was behind a gunpoint robbery on August 6 when Emmanuel Jerome was held up for a cell phone, $50 cash and a chain valued at $90.

It is then alleged that on August 14, he stole and/or dishonestly received a 2012 Kia Soul valued at $25,000, the property of Ricardo Davis.

It is further claimed that on August 13, while armed with a handgun, he robbed Hugh Johnson of $18,910.39 that belonged to the Sports Centre sporting goods store.

It is alleged that five days later, on August 18, he, with a 17-year-old and 22-year-old Leroy Rolle, robbed three individuals at gunpoint of $7,200 cash, iPhone and Samsung cell phones worth $1,500 and a gold Michael Kors watch valued at $350.

It is also alleged that he, on August 28, held up Eltario Morley and Esther Moncur for $30 cash and two cell phones.

Three days later, on August 31, an Island Luck employee was robbed at gunpoint of $1,526 belonging to the web shop.

Milord is accused of committing this crime as well as the gunpoint robberies of Renaldo Rolle and David Adderley for $328 cash on the same day.

The Voluntary Bill of Indictment, which contained the Crown’s case against him, facilitated the transfer of the matters from the lower court to the Supreme Court.

Milord is now scheduled to appear before Justice Bernard Turner on December 2.

It is at that time that he will be allowed to enter a plea to the various charges.
