The defendant was charged with three offences arising from a street robbery on July 7, 2017: having his face masked with intent to commit an indictable offence, assault causing bodily harm, and theft.
The complainant, a 70-year-old woman, was robbed of $500 withdrawn from her bank.
She identified the defendant as her assailant based on recognition during the incident when his face covering slipped.
The defendant denied involvement and claimed an alibi.
The court found the complainant's identification evidence credible and reliable, rejected the defendant's alibi as inconsistent with police records, and convicted on all three counts.
