FREEPORT- Two New Providence men have been acquitted of stealing more than $400,000 in merchandise during a 2018 smash-and-grab robbery at John Bull in Freeport.
Corradon Cockburn, 35, and Diego Carey, 27, were acquitted of conspiracy to commit robbery by Deputy Chief Magistrate Debbye Ferguson.
And, the magistrate ordered authorities to return $21, 281 from Cockburn that had been seized as the proceeds of criminal conduct “as soon as possible.”
The magistrate ruled that prosecutors had failed to prove that Cockburn and Carey robbed John Bull of 35 Rolex watches and two Breitling watches during a robbery at John Bull on July 23, 2018.
Likewise, the prosecution failed to persuade the magistrate that the money taken from Cockburn was derived from the sales of the stolen watches.
Magistrate Ferguson determined that the men did not have a case to answer.
On the day of the robbery, two men dressed like women, arrived at the Port Lucaya business shortly before it opened.
They smashed showcases and helped themselves to the luxury watches with a combined value of $427,520 before fleeing the scene.
Police arrested Carey on July 31, 2018 after he allegedly tried to leave Freeport with five of the stolen Rolex watches.
Bjorn Ferguson represented Cockburn. Carey did not have a lawyer.
NASSAU – A man whose father was murdered when he was 12 years old has met the same tragic end.
Police opened a murder investigation following the discovery of Omar Davis Jr’s decomposing body in a black Honda Fit around 5 pm on Tuesday, August 16.
The car was parked in the back of Centreville Food Store.
Davis had multiple wounds to the head and chest and was stuffed in a garbage bag.
His father was a drug dealer who was murdered in front of the family’s Kemp Road home on June 1, 2013.
Despite being exposed to the criminal activity as a child, Davis Jr appeared to have beaten the odds.
In 2018, he graduated as the valedictorian of C.I. Gibson High School and he received a full scholarship to Central State University in Ohio.
He recently graduated with a double degree in accounting and economics.
