Four men, including an 18-year-old, were remanded in connection with a string of armed robberies in the Corentyne area, following their swift apprehension by detectives from Regional Division #6. The suspects were taken into custody during an intelligence-led operation on Wednesday and later charged with multiple robbery offences.

The accused individuals, identified as Joshua Beharry (24), Nathaniel Latchman (20), Sahil Hardin (24), and Bryan Sundatt (18), all from the Corentyne area, were charged with committing a robbery under arms on a female victim at Tain, Corentyne, on January 28, 2025.

They appeared at Whim Magistrate’s Court on Friday, where the charges were read to them. None of the accused were required to enter a plea. All four were remanded to prison, and the case was adjourned to February 28, 2025.

In a separate development, three of the accused – Joshua Beharry, Nathaniel Latchman, and Bryan Sundatt – were also charged in relation to a robbery committed on three individuals on January 22, 2025, at Rose Hall Town, Corentyne.

This charge was also laid under Section 222(c) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, and they appeared before Magistrate Michelle Mathias at Albion Magistrate Court, where they were remanded to prison. The case was similarly adjourned to February 28, 2025.
