A magistrate yesterday remanded an alleged serial armed robber to Her Majesty’s Prison after he was charged in connection with a string of robberies that took place between January and October 2005. <\/p>\n
Police say Dudley Alphonso Burrows, 24, of # 50 Baldwin Avenue, robbed businesses and persons of thousands of dollars in cash, cell phones and other miscellaneous items.<\/p>\n
As Magistrate Marilyn Meeres read the 11 counts, Burrows who was dressed in an oversized blue hooded jacket, stood silently with his head bowed.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that Burrows on January 27, 2005, while in the company of others, held up Peter Mei with a handgun and robbed him of $300 cash, the property of Golden Treasure Chinese Restaurant, on Farrington Road.<\/p>\n
Six months later the accused allegedly robbed the Hong Kong Kitchen Restaurant on Madeira Street of $600. Elaine Merisier was reportedly the cashier. <\/p>\n
Police say that during the month of October, Burrows committed a slew of armed robberies, making as many as two hits per day.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that on October 10, Burrows held up Anna Clarke-Ellis and robbed her of $115, the property of Facades Men’s Fashion on Blue Hill Road South. <\/p>\n
Police also say he stole $130 from Mrs. Ellis.<\/p>\n
Three days later, on October 13, he allegedly hit the Golden Gates Treasure Chinese Restaurant in The Golden Gates Shopping Plaza, robbing employee Joey Jan of $1,500, the property of the restaurant. <\/p>\n
Burrows allegedly also stole $300, a Motorola flip cellular phone valued at $160, a Nokia cellular phone, which cost $260, the property of Jayco Wireless store, from Christopher Ramhing an employee of that store.<\/p>\n
During the stickup, Mr. Rahming’s drivers license and leather wallet containing $40 were also stolen, according to police. <\/p>\n
The robbing spree did not end there, police say. It is alleged that that same day, Burrows robbed Naydean Moss of a $350, a Motorola cellular phone and $121 cash, the property of Super Wash.<\/p>\n
Using a rusted machete, two weeks later, Burrows is accused of robbing Shannon Minnis of $2,600, the property of Virgo Car Rentals on the East West High Way.<\/p>\n
Magistrate Meeres advised the accused of his right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail. Burrows was not required to enter a plea.<\/p>\n
A preliminary inquiry was set for May 18.<\/p>\n
