UPDATE: Allegations against VG robbery trio compelling, court hears
Tray Audain, 25, of no fixed place of abode, Rakeem Lennard, 28, of North Sound, and Lekhoy Hughes, 20, of no fixed place of abode were not required to plead to the charges since the matter is indictable.
The court heard by Magistrate Benjamin that another factor she considered was two of the men had no permanent place of residence. Another man, she explained, escaped from the police and the guns used during the crime were not yet found.
“Bail is made on allegations and the strength of the allegations, and I also have to consider the personal circumstances of each. Bail is denied in relations to all three defendants,” she remarked.
The men will spend Christmas behind bars and will be returned to court on January 27, 2021.
Allegations
Prosecutor Kael London said, on October 15, 2020, the Virtual Complainants were outside a supermarket on Lee Road when they were robbed of their handbags by two masked, armed men.
The men then escaped on a awaiting White Kia Rental vehicle.
An individual who saw the robbery and escape proceeded to report the matter to the police, who responded.

Notably, inside the vehicle with the defendants, two female handbags were found with cash and other personal belongings.
The bags were later identified as those of the two VC’s.
The men were arrested, interviewed, where they denied the allegations.
They were later charged with the offence of Robbery.
Defendant Audain, the driver of the vehicle used in the crime, is represented by Attorney Stacy Abel.

In other news how dear the employees of the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board Employee’s using a platform to disrespect our national hero’s while defending their nasty behavior. The Host of C** D**P always putting people on negative blast and probably endangering them but the shoe on the other foot she talking about she scared about what Queen Lake might do?! Sin D GTFOOH. Whatever happened to you and your life you’re the one who brought it on yourself. As for the IT cause that what she is a nasty selfish sick It, your attitude and behavior as always been a bullying attitude. Mc Kelly’s only doing you’ll stuff because they’re scared of for themselves. You’ll just intimidating people. Ain’t everyone sees it your way or want to see it you’ll way and 90% of the time you’ll way is not a positive way. I can’t believe the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board actually have two crazy bats working for them. Sin D show is really for low level can’t think for themselves people. If you’ll ain’t know the show is pre-set - Sin D went after Queen Lake but she used the road of having the crazy bat do it instead. Cindy is not the future of the BVI and I’m calling on the British Virgin Islands TB to let both go by December 1st or else!
