A MAN was sent to prison yesterday after he allegedly breached his curfew 24 times this year while on bail for four counts of armed robbery.
Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Luther Saunders, 28, with stealing, damage and twenty-four counts of violating bail conditions.
While on release for a series of armed robberies in December 2017, including a carjacking, Saunders allegedly breached his curfew 24 times between July 1 and December 2.
Saunders also allegedly stole and damaged Marion Smith’s $860 Gould water pump from Bay Berry Drive on December 4.
Although the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges, the prosecution objected to his bail, citing his propensity to re-offend while on release.
Saunders was denied bail and was sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Saunders’ trial begins on February 8, 2024.
