On Tuesday, we told you about how police nabbed the suspected robbers right after a brazen, daylight armed robbery, and recovered a firearm.
Well tonight, the men who police caught on the scene are at spending their second night in prison after they were taken to court yesterday. As we reported, four men on bicycles rolled up on a trio of Mennonites who were making sales in their cargo truck at the corner of Amara Avenue and King Street at around 5:30 p.m.
They robbed the men with a firearm and then rode off towards Dean Street. Precinct police were in the area and responded immediately. They intercepted 18 year-old Ljaman Young, and 24 year-old Tarique Cadle on Dean Street. When they searched them, a small .25 pistol fell out of one of the men's pockets. Police also found one of the Mennonite's wallets with a small amount of cash.
As a result, police arrested and charged them with 3 counts of robbery, 3 counts aggravated assault, one count of handling stolen goods, and one count of keeping an unlicensed firearm. They were arraigned before Magistrate Dale Cayetano yesterday who remanded them to prison until June 28, their next court date.
