Jamaicans denied bail for robbery in Cayman Islands

Two Jamaicans charged with robbing a money transfer business in the Cayman Islands earlier this month were denied bail on Monday.
   
The court heard that Paul Martin, 28, and Romario Codner, 21, were charged in connection with the August 12 heist, in which CI$2,136 was stolen.
   
In addition, both men were charged with possession of an imitation firearm, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum 10-year prison sentence in the Cayman Islands.
   
Both suspects are scheduled to appear in court on September 16.
   
A 39-year-old Caymanian man, who was arrested on suspicion of harbouring the Jamaicans, was held, but later released.
   
The police confirmed that the two robbery suspects were in Cayman illegally.
