A former police officer was one of three men formally charged in a magistrate’s court yesterday with a series of armed robberies last week.
Angelo Roker, 20, of Lightbourne Street, who was dismissed from the police force last week after the charges were laid against him, was also charged with attempted murder.
The ex-police officer, along with Neville Knowles, 21, of Hospital Lane, and Elroy Wilson, 22, of Taylor Street, were charged together with five counts of armed robbery, and four counts of receiving.
Roker and Wilson were also charged with three additional counts of armed robbery in addition to attempted murder.
It is alleged that the three men robbed Densely Smith, Gabrielle Smith, Burton Wallace, Chrystal Bethel, and John Darville in separate incidents on September 1.
