T&T: Man charged for robbing pensioner
A 27-year-old man is expected to appear before a Port-of-Spain Magistrate tomorrow charged with robbing and assaulting a pensioner.
The suspect, who lives at Hololo Road, Santa Cruz, was arrested on November 3rd and charged today by PC Castillo, of the Santa Cruz Criminal Investigations Department (CID), following a police report in June 2021, in which a pensioner told police that he was assaulted and robbed by three men.
According to police reports, at 11 pm on June 17th, 2021, a man was at his Santa Cruz home when three men approached him. Police were told that one of the men held the homeowner in a headlock, while two others dealt him several blows about the body. The homeowner was later robbed of $300 and his cell phone. Santa Cruz CID detectives subsequently investigated the matter, and two suspects, a 21-year-old and a 27-year-old were arrested, pending further inquiries.
During an identification parade, the 27-year-old suspect was positively identified. Following the execution of a search warrant at a suspect's home, police allegedly recovered the stolen cell phone. The man was later charged with robbery with violence. PC Castillo is continuing investigations.
