22-year-old to answer to robbery, deception charges today in court

A 22-year-old resident of St Michael, Barbados, is confronting significant legal proceedings as he prepares to face multiple criminal charges in the District ‘A’ Criminal Court. Akeel Shaquan Hamblin, residing at Upper Fordes Road in Clapham, has been formally charged by the Barbados Police Service’s Major Crime Unit in connection with a series of serious offenses.

The charges stem from two separate robbery incidents and one case of criminal deception allegedly committed within an eleven-day period in late November. According to police investigations, Hamblin stands accused of robbing Elias Jackman on November 17, followed by the robbery of Zaria Archer on November 27. The following day, November 28, he allegedly committed criminal deception against Ms. Archer.

The combined value of the stolen property from these incidents amounts to approximately $86,970, indicating the substantial financial impact of these crimes. The Major Crime Unit, responsible for handling serious criminal investigations in Barbados, conducted the arrest and formal charging process.

Hamblin’s court appearance, scheduled for Monday, December 15, marks the beginning of formal judicial proceedings in this case. The District ‘A’ Criminal Court will address these multiple charges as the Barbados justice system processes the allegations against the accused individual.
