Robbery Charges Dropped in Income Tax Holdup

They were charged for pulling off a broad daylight armed robbery of the Income Tax Department, and making off with more than $14,000. But today the Director of Public Prosecutions sent a memo to the court instructing them to drop charges against accused armed robbers Kenroy Espinoza and David Longsworth. The men had been jointly charged with robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery. The incident occurred on Friday July 15th when a man with a knapsack casually walked into the Income Tax Office and went to the cashier and threatened her with a gun. The cashier handed over $14,342. While Espinoza got to go home, Longsworth is still facing a charge of handling stolen goods because he as found with $3,000 believed to be proceeds of the robbery.
