A MAN accused of robbing a web shop admitted yesterday to escaping the Southern Police Station last week.
Magistrate Kendra Kelly charged Tevin Fritz with armed robbery and escape.
Fritz, with armed accomplices, allegedly robbed the Chances web shop on Baillou Hill and John Roads of $500 in cash on February 24.
Police reportedly apprehended Fritz on Fleming Street in a grey coloured Japanese vehicle matching the getaway car used in Chance’s heist later that day.
While detained for this robbery, Fritz escaped the Southern Police Station around 9pm on February 29, the night before his arraignment.
Fritz’s co-accused in the armed robbery was arraigned on Friday.
Although Fritz pleaded guilty to the escape charge, he was told that the armed robbery matter would be transferred to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI).
Fritz will return to court for sentencing on the escape charge on Wednesday. His VBI will be served on May 24.
Levan Johnson represented the accused.
