A 17-year-old student of a Kingston high school was last Friday granted bail after he was held and charged with possession of an offensive weapon and robbery with aggravation of another student in St Andrew last month.
According to the prosecution, the teenager was among a group of students who held up and robbed a student of a digital camera at knife point.

The accused teenager was turned in to the police by his mother.

The youngster, who appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court, was offered $30,000 bail with surety and is to return to court on June 23.

The bail was granted on condition that the accused could not leave his house except for when he is to sit his CXC examinations and for extra classes on Saturdays.
He was also told by Resident Magistrate Glen Brown that he should not be seen with anyone on the days specified and that he should return home by the latest 5:00 pm.

"The most I can do for him is to grant him bail, this is a very serious issue and I grant bail under several conditions," RM Brown told the youngster's mother. "Whenever he is seen he must be by himself, because company seems to be a big part of his problem," the magistrate said.
