NASSAU- A Jamaican man has been charged with the robberies of two businesses that occurred within days of each other.

Prosecutors say Wayne Smith, 24, and others, robbed 700 Wines and Spirits of $41,000 on September 10.

Smith, a resident of Taylor Street, is also accused of robbing an employee of $20 and an iPhone 11, valued at $800.

What’s more, prosecutors say Smith and accomplices robbed Restaurant Supplies Number 2 on Mackey Street of $18,220.80 on September 12.

He’s also charged with receiving $6,460 believed to be proceeds of the robbery.

Smith didn’t have to enter pleas to the charges when he appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain and he was refused bail.

However, he can apply for bail in the Supreme Court.
