Each defendant had to give the court the exact location of the house where he would observe the curfew. 

The next hearing is slated for Jan. 15, 2024.

One reply on “Men charged with robbery, other charges in connection with burglary in Campden Park ”

  1. Granted that they have not yet been found guilty this more like detention rather than incarceration. Using a gun to rob someone and then letting the person loose in the community with access to the victim is a height of madness. SVG’s justice system obviously need an overhaul to match the criminal mindset of today.
