Bank mobbery suspect denied bail again

One of the five men charged with the robbery at the Bank of Baroda in Port-of-Spain on June 6, is yet to be granted bail after a second application was rejected by a Port-of-Spain magistrate yesterday. Dexter Black was remanded in custody when he reappeared before Magistrate Melvin Daniel in the Port-of-Spain Fourth Court. The application was rejected on the grounds that Black had allegedly committed offences while out on bail for similar matters. Black is jointly charged with Anton Smart, Chevallier Craig, Keston Jackie and Dexter Olbino.

 

 

The five are charged that on June 6 at the Bank of Baroda, Independence Square, they committed nine offences. The charges include the false imprisonment of security guard Kyle Ambrose, senior manager Sandip Sinat, credit manager Ranjit Kumar and manager Mahadeo Meena; assault with intent to rob Sinat, Meena and Ambrose; robbing Kumar of $1,600 in cash during which they used personal violence;  and unlawfully damaging one glass door, valued at $3,000, the property of the Bank of Baroda.  Informed that Black had four matters pending, including two from earlier this year, Daniel declined to grant him bail. The four others remain out on bail. The matter was later adjourned to August 30.
