THREE men were arraigned in Magistrate’s Court yesterday on separate charges of armed robbery and housebreaking.
Andre Lightbourn, 27, and Luther Delancy, 18, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on a shared charge of armed robbery.
On July 15 in New Providence, the two are accused of robbing Sherika Gibson at the point of a handgun. The two are further said to have stolen Gibson’s $5,500 brown Nissan Cube and $48 in cash.
As the charge is an indictable offence, neither accused was required to enter a plea and were informed that their case would proceed by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment (VBI).
The two accused were then told that they would have to apply to the Supreme Court for bail. Until bail is granted, they will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Both accused are expected to be served their VBIs on November 24.
Nathaniel Munroe, 54, also appeared before Magistrate Swain on charges of housebreaking and stealing.
Between 1 and 1.30pm on August 4, Munroe is accused of breaking into Patrick Taylor’s residence on Palmetto Avenue and stealing $600 in cash.
The accused pleaded not guilty to both charges.
With no objections to bail from Prosecutor Inspector Lincoln McKenzie, $3,000 bail was granted with one surety.
Munroe’s trial will start on November 10.
