Kern Jerimiah, 33, of Longdenville, is due to appear virtually in the Chaguanas Magistrates’ Court on Monday to face charges of robbery with aggravation.

A police release said the accused was arrested following an incident where around 4 pm on

Monday a bakery goods salesman was robbed.

It is alleged that while the salesman was in his vehicle conducting a sale along

Flemming Street, Longdenville, a masked man with a firearm approached him and demanded money. The victim reported that the assailant relieved him of $1,700 and escaped on foot by running into a bushy area in the same street.

Enquiries were conducted by the Chaguanas CID, Central Division Task

Force-North and Longdenville Police resulting in the arrest of the

accused.

Jerimiah, the release said, was placed on an identification parade today at the Chaguanas Police Station
