A 19-year-old Fox Hill resident appeared in Magistrate’s Court yesterday accused of committing a recent gunpoint carjacking.
Alexander Farrington was brought before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt to face two counts of armed robbery and a single charge of receiving stemming from an incident on March 29. It is alleged that, with a handgun, he robbed Kimberley Woodside of a handbag worth $60, containing cash and identification documents.
He is also alleged to have robbed Ryan Rolle of a 2004 Nissan Tilda valued at $3,500.
Farrington is further alleged to have dishonestly received the stolen car, which is listed as the property of Woodside.
The accused was told that he would not be required to enter a plea to the charges until he is formally arraigned before a judge of the Supreme Court after the case is transferred by the presentation of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment scheduled for May 23.
Due to the nature of the allegations, Farrington was denied bail and remanded to the Department of Correctional Services to await trial. However, he has the right to apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
