During a preliminary inquiry on Jan. 10, Magistrate Clifton Warner set March 12 for a plea and direction hearing for Wilkie Arthur, Jo’Ram Rigby, Roxanne Lockhart and Lorenzo Ceasar. Suspects Dorlens Zomar and Franklyn Saintelmon were set free. Arthur and Ceasar remain remanded in custody at Her Majesty’s Prison on Grand Turk. Lockhart and Rigby were further released on conditional court bail. The suspects were charged with the midday robbery of the Grace Bay location of Jai’s on Saturday, July 10. Shortly after noon, a woman helped the robbers get into the upscale guarded store. The woman pretended to drop her purse in the entryway, allowing the robbers to rush the security guard manning the of the store door. Two of the masked men were armed with guns and the third had a cutlass. The robbery was captured on security cameras. Police recovered a .22-caliber revolver, clothing worn by the suspects and two vehicles, but none of the watches.
