Women accused of set up robbery get bail

NASSAU- A Supreme Court judge today granted bail to two women accused of setting up an armed robbery at 700 Wines and Spirits.

Prosecutors allege that Evena Belton, 38, and Latoya Wallace, 36, gave the robber inside information that enabled him to rob the JFK liquor store of close to $40,000 on August 30.

Belton and Wallace were remanded to prison on September 8 after they were charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Justice Weech-Gomez set bail at $20,000 with three sureties. They are required to surrender their travel documents; wear an ankle bracelet; and report to the East Street South Police Station on Tuesdays and Saturdays before 6pm.

The women will appear before McKinney on December 3 to receive a voluntary bill of indictment that will send their case to the Supreme Court for trial.

Ian Cargill represented them.
