THREE MEN were jailed yesterday after being accused of abducting and robbing two tourists in Exuma last week.

Robin Ferguson, 26, and two 17-year-old youth stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly on two counts of kidnapping, two counts of armed robbery and a single count of burglary.

On May 18, at around 12.15am, the three accused, all wearing black masks, allegedly broke into the residence of Mallory Davis and Christopher Jablonski on Jolly Hall. They allegedly woke up the couple and blindfolded them at gunpoint. Then, they reportedly drove the two tourists to the nearest ATM and forced each of them to withdraw $1,500.

They allegedly stole Davis’ gold and silver Rolex watch valued at $12,000 and Jablonski’s Movado watch valued at $350.

Ferguson was wearing an ankle monitoring device and was on bail for a pending attempted murder charge at the time of the incident.

The accused were remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. Their case will be moved to the Supreme Court by way of a Voluntary Bill of Indictment to be served on August 25th.
