TWO men and two women were granted bail yesterday after they allegedly threatened a man with death and stole his phone by force.

Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Patrick Johnson, 57, Chamekia Pedican, 46, and Fedline Jean, 26, with robbery, stealing, receiving and threats of death. 

Julian Aranha, 31, faced a charge of receiving. 

The defendants, by means of violence and threats of death, allegedly robbed Dalano Bethel of his $1,200 white and black Google Pixel 8 on the morning of December 11 in New Providence. Later that day, they  were arrested after they allegedly were found with the  stolen phone. 

All four defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. 

The male defendants were granted $4,000 bail, while the female defendants’ bail was set at $3,000. Johnson is expected to sign in at the Quakoo Street Police Station on Thursdays, and Aranha will report to the same station every Wednesday.

The female defendants must also sign in at this station every Monday by 6pm. 

The trial in this matter begins on February 19, 2024.
