Two men accused of robbing three elderly persons were granted bail in the St John’s Magistrates’ Court last week.
Magistrate Conliffe Clarke gave bail to Marlon Carr of Fort Road and Rickardo Bussawan of Villa who were recently charged with aggravated robbery.
Their bail was set at $100,000 with a $5500 cash component along with other conditions such as reporting to a police station every day.
The three alleged robbery victims are said to be non-nationals in their 70’s who recently arrived on the island.
Two of them, a married couple, owned a property in Mill Reef Club.
On April 6 at around 10 pm, the complainants were at the residence in Mill Reef and were having a conversation under a cabana by the pool.
Not long into the conversation, they were reportedly accosted by three masked men who showed up wearing gloves and armed with knives.
The men allegedly grabbed the complainants from behind and then bound their hands and mouths with duct tape.
They then reportedly relieved them of their valuables, including iphones, ipods, and jewellery.
The robbers are then said to have taken them inside the house to open a safe.
Further reports indicate that they stole US$1,140.00 from the complainants before locking them in a bedroom.
The alleged victims were later able to free themselves and immediately report to the authorities what had transpired.
The police investigation led to the arrest of the two men who were subsequently charged, however the third person has not yet been apprehended at the time of the court appearance.
Their committal hearing was set for July 6. – OBSERVER NEWSCO

Why were they granted bail?
Wasn’t Janice Samuel granted bail? She robbed business owners of hundreds of thousands of dollars $$$$ while using the snake-spit mic as her weapon to attack and criticize others
@Well,well,well.
What the”F”are you telling me about Janice Samuel for? I do not even know the woman.Did Janice Samuel threaten anyone with weapons? Did she wear a mask and knife to rob anyone. She did use a PEN.
Dats how good she is. No mask needed!!! No risk of getting shot at. Still waters run deep. Sophisticated TEEF behind the mic at Serpent radio station.
“Samuel, who had become a familiar voice on a local radio station, was charged in 2019 for swindling $ 107,119.27 from her employer H2One Limited.”

I hate when ppl say the system failed them the government failed them and this and that failed them. So of these ppl that are going around to rob ppl and place had everything they could want and need and still turn around and resort to robbing. You can give someone everything except a mind. So stop saying this and that failed them cause that’s not always the truth

Hate because those same caribbean nationals are threatening us with knives and guns. Thry are robbing us, terrorizing us, taking our hard-earned money and other valuables. Hate because they are lazy. They do not want to work. Hate because they hate us. If they didnt hate us they would not be terrorizing us like that.
You all so accustomed to try tarnish non nationals so much.. you writing crap. Look at the story and the headline.
So let dem LEAVE JUS LEAVE YOU ALL DNT DO SHIT FOR ANY OFTHE ISLANDS YOU MIGRATE TOO….WHAT DO YOU all DO???

This crime was an inside job…how they they gain entry into MILL REEF ….WHO LET THEM IN AND FROM WHICH SIDE THEY THEY ENTER FROM…..ANTIGUANS ARE ROBBERS TO BUT DO THEY GO TO PRIVATE HOTELS TO ROB …NO!
Gaston Browne voters. Come to Antigua, stay illegally, and Gaston will give you residency for your vote. Them kinds of crime with taping up people happens in mostly big countries.
Gaston, stop letting more of these people in the country. They don’t have jobs and when they do, they make minimum wage. This encourages criminal activities to live.
why the glaring term “non national” in the headline? Gemma Handy did you approve of this given that you are yourself a “non national”?
… and if anyone knows who the third teef is, turn him in now.
It’s these type of feral neanderthals and CROOKSHANKS that is so damaging to our tourism industry.
Furthermore, when their jail sentences are completed, DEPORT THEM back to their country/countries of origin.
If you can’t work hard in life (like the majority of us do) and appreciate the inner beauty of Antigua 🇦🇬 – GET OUT!
Let us throw some salt and clorox on them Cuban frogs 🐸
The robbers are non-nationals or the 3 victims are, which one is it? Can you please clarify whether the headline or the story itself is correct? Btw every country has criminals and we go to other people’s countries as well to live and either do good or bad. Each man has to answer for his own character or lack thereof.
You the same thing I said before in my comment.. all they doing here is spreading hate. They need to read the story. They way some people comment …its like they can ready and understand nothing hence their ignorance and hate towards humans. The high coloured people came from the east and owned all the most important businesses and lands in our Antigua and they can’t get a piece of land for themselves, they keep quiet… smh you all only have strength for black people typical typical black people mentality
Not Antiguan born and bred Marlon Carr who work Public Works for over 20 years? Fix up your headline please, poor non-nationals getting blamed for Antigua rotten eggs.
Justin Simon former UPP AG from Dominica. He is to be blamed for “not ready” each Time?
We love all the people from the OECS, with very few exceptions. The rest we don’t care much for. Too many are thieves and crooks. Justin Simon proves that we don’t hate non nationals.
