A MAN was behind bars yesterday after he was accused of a failed armed robbery using a fake handgun earlier this week.

Magistrate Algernon Allen, Jr, charged Villy Christian, 32, with attempted armed robbery and possession of an imitation firearm to commit an indictable offence.

Christian allegedly attempted to rob Kadejah Taylor with an imitation black Smith and Wesson pistol on September 3 in New Providence on August 17.

The accused was informed that his charge would be moved to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services unless, or until, the higher court grants him bail.

Christian’s VBI is set for service on November 7.
