A magistrate yesterday gave the prosecution a final chance to determine whether it will proceed with a conspiracy case against a man serving time for a smash-and-grab robbery at John Bull’s Rolex boutique.
Antoin Harvey on February 25, 2020, was sentenced to four-and-a-half years for robbing the store of Rolex watches valued at $541,850.
Prosecutors said Harvey was one of the men who entered the store on Paradise Island on February 15 near closing time and smashed the showcases before helping themselves to 14 watches.
Harvey pleaded guilty to stealing from a shop and causing damage to the display cases. However, a charge of conspiracy to commit stealing from a shop remains outstanding.
At the time, ASP Barrington Miller said he would decide whether he would withdraw that charge on May 13.
At yesterday’s status hearing, Inspector Samantha Miah said she had not been apprised of the matter and did not have the file.
Nonetheless, Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt said the issue had been outstanding for too long.
As a result, she adjourned the matter to January 24. She said if the prosecution did not make a decision on the matter she would make one for them.
