Benzie Robbery: Suspect Already On Bail Over Two Ram Raids

Suspected Benzie Robber Already On Bail Over Two Ram RaidsWell, well, well … what have we got ‘ere then?

We’re all, of course, aware of the robbery at Benzie yachting jewellers in Cowes and the subsequent arrest and charging of a 21-year-old man, Oliver John Mazirel.

Did you know that the same fellow was on bail over ram-raids in Sussex?

Following a ram-raid in Brighton on a computer shop on 28 May where £25k worth of MacBooks and iPods were stolen, Mazirel and a female accomplice (sound familiar?) were arrested on suspicion of the burglary.

It appears that he’s been rather busy as he was already on bail after a ram-raid in Worthing’s Montague Centre on 5 May, revealed The Argus on Sunday.

Not surprisingly this time the courts have decided to keep him in custody until his crown court hearing on the Island on October 12.
