Twenty-seven year old, Leon Pinks appeared before Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie to answer to charges of Robbery and Damage to Property.

The incident occurred around two on the afternoon of April second when a fifteen year old was robbed at gun point of four hundred and fifty dollars cash at the newly opened bakery. Pinks and two other suspects fled the scene in a white pickup that was parked nearby. The minor’s father, Zebedee Pitterson Junior was alerted and set chase behind the jackers.
