A Malabar man has been granted $75,000 bail on allegations he robbed a woman at the Price Club supermarket in Chaguanas on November 14.

Nickail Julien, 35, of Mahogany Drive, Malabar, appeared before Master Rhea Libert on November 20, on a robbery with aggravation charge which alleges that he and two other people, robbed a woman of two gold beras (bracelets) and a gold chain, using violence. The jewellery was said to be worth $15,500. It is alleged the woman was robbed while packing groceries in her vehicle at the supermarket’s carpark.

Two men grabbed the jewellery and escaped in a black SUV. Prosecutors objected to bail based on 25 pending matters listed on Julien’s criminal record. However, his attorney Bhimal Maharajh argued that his client has consistently attended court for all matters, noting that no warrants were ever issued for his arrest.
