Alleged phone thieves mowed down by victim in Half-Way-Tree
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Three men implicated in the theft of a high-end cellular phone and $2,000 are to stand trial next month, after they were reportedly mowed down by their victim in the Corporate Area.
The trio, 18-year-old Quashawn Harris, otherwise called ‘Bigga’, of Central Road in Kingston, Daveian Lewis, 21, also of a Central Road address and Luke Wright, 21, a resident of Comfort, Clarendon, pleaded not guilty to robbery with aggravation.
Allegations are that one of the men, who was reportedly armed with a knife, robbed the complainant of his Iphone 4 and $2,000.
It is further alleged that the complainant later went in search of the men, during which they were seen along South Avenue in the vicinity of Lane Plaza.
It is reported that the complainant, who was said to have been in fear of his life after being attacked, used his motor car to hit all three accused.
The police were summoned and the men arrested.
The men appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court with bruises to their bodies.
“How you so chip up?” Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey asked one of the men.
“The car lick us down. We were walking in Half-Way-Tree and the car hit us down for nothing at all,” he answered.
“The man mowed you down with the car?” Pusey inquired before setting a July 2 trial date for the accused.
They were ordered to give their fingerprints to the police and were also told to seek medical attention.
