CEPEP labourer on 7 charges of robbery and firearm

A 19-year-old CEPEP labourer has been charged with seven counts of possession of a firearm and robbery, all within one day.

Atiba Bishop appeared before Magistrate Mark Wellington to answer to the charges but was denied bail because he has one cocaine matter pending before the court and according to Magistrate Wellington, “You committed these acts in one day and while you were out on bail.” The court heard that on March 19 this year, Bishop used his firearm to rob seven different people who were in San Fernando and its environs. His matter was adjourned to May 13 and will be heard in the Second Court.
