Women to stand trial for set up robbery

NASSAU- Two women accused of orchestrating an armed robbery at 700 Wines and Spirits last year will be arraigned in the Supreme Court next month.

Prosecutors allege that Evena Belton, 39, and Latoya Wallace, 37, were behind the August 30, 2021 armed robbery at the liquor store’s John F. Kennedy Drive location.

Belton and Wallace were arrested and charged after police issued wanted posters for them.

They were committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court on a charge on a charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery when they received a voluntary bill of indictment.

They are scheduled to appear before Senior Justice Bernard Turner for arraignment on October 21.
