A 22-year-old was remanded after he allegedly was responsible for an armed carjacking last week. He was reportedly also found with $3,510 in counterfeit cash at his residence.
Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, charged Treyvar Taylor with armed robbery, and receiving and possessing forged currency notes.
Taylor and an accomplice, while masked and armed with a handgun, allegedly robbed Larousse Philus as he arrived at his residence on Marigold Farm Road on the night of November 7. The accused reportedly stole Philus’s wallet containing $200 cash and his silver coloured Nissan Note valued at $3,400.
After fleeing the area, a silver coloured Nissan Cube followed him, and he was arrested at his residence in the area of Sandilands Village Road after police found the stolen vehicle there later that day. A search of Taylor’s residence also uncovered $3,510 of counterfeit cash in mixed Bahamian and American currency.
The accused was told that his case would be moved to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). Taylor will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants him bail. Taylor’s VBI is set for service on February 27, 2024.
