Three charged with robbery; fourth faces wounding charge

Three men have been grant­ed bail af­ter ap­pear­ing be­fore the court in con­nec­tion with a rob­bery with vi­o­lence, while a fourth man is due to ap­pear in court to­day charged with ma­li­cious wound­ing.

The rob­bery in­ves­ti­ga­tion stemmed from a re­port made on June 30, 2026. Po­lice said an in­ves­ti­ga­tion was con­duct­ed by of­fi­cers un­der the su­per­vi­sion of se­nior and di­vi­sion­al of­fi­cers, in­clud­ing Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Hospedales, Su­per­in­ten­dent Bertie and As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent Pacheco.

The in­ves­ti­ga­tion led to Po­lice Con­sta­ble Roopc­hand charg­ing three men.

They are 27-year-old Ja­heel Fras­er of Bel­mont; 21-year-old Kevin Noel Boyce of Port of Spain; and 19-year-old Kevin George, al­so of Port of Spain.

The three ap­peared be­fore Mas­ter Sarah De Sil­va on Wednes­day.

A sum­ma­ry tri­al was rec­om­mend­ed, and all three ac­cused en­tered not-guilty pleas.

Fras­er and Boyce were each grant­ed bail in the sum of $100,000 with a sure­ty.

George was grant­ed bail in the sum of $50,000 with a sure­ty, or a cash al­ter­na­tive of $5,000.

The mat­ter was trans­ferred to the San Fer­nan­do Dis­trict Court, where it will next be heard on Oc­to­ber 1.

In an un­re­lat­ed mat­ter, po­lice in Point Fortin have charged a 28-year-old man with ma­li­cious wound­ing fol­low­ing an in­ci­dent at a bar along the South­ern Main Road.

The in­ci­dent re­port­ed­ly oc­curred on Sat­ur­day, Au­gust 29.

Po­lice said an in­ves­ti­ga­tion was con­duct­ed by Po­lice Con­sta­ble Bap­tiste un­der the su­per­vi­sion of se­nior and di­vi­sion­al of­fi­cers, in­clud­ing Se­nior Su­per­in­ten­dent Thomp­son, Su­per­in­ten­dent Jag­ger­nath, As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dents Cor­rie, Forbes and Lewis, and oth­er of­fi­cers.

Fol­low­ing the in­ves­ti­ga­tion and ad­vice from Le­gal Of­fi­cer Sergeant Salazar, Kur­dell Joseph, of Point Fortin and San Fer­nan­do, was charged with ma­li­cious wound­ing.

Joseph is ex­pect­ed to ap­pear be­fore the South Crim­i­nal Court to­day.

The charges fol­low sep­a­rate po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to the two in­ci­dents.

All four ac­cused are be­fore the courts and are pre­sumed in­no­cent un­til proven guilty.
