Kathy-Ann Issac, 35, who was convicted of conspiring to rob Carlisle Bay Resort in 2018 has been sentenced to two years and six months at Her Majesty’s Prison.
On June 30, 2018, in the afternoon, the resort was targeted by a lone gunman who was seen on camera grabbing bags of money that had been packed by two workers captured on surveillance camera emptying a safe.
Isaac, who worked as an account’s clerk at the hotel, and had been employed there for about 14 years, was one of those workers.
When Isaac and the other employee finished packing the gunman’s bag, accomplice Anthony “Thug Life” Govia, the brother of her boyfriend at the time, marked off with about $100,000 in cash.
Govia, the accused gunman, is rumoured to have fled the country and has not been found by police to date. He is also believed to be the mastermind of the crime.
In 2020 Kathy-Ann pleaded guilty to the offence before the Highcourt.
On the 20th of April, 2021, Justice Ann-Marie Smith charged Isaac with aggravated robbery. In making her decision, several factors were considered. She reminded the court of Isaac’s police interview, pre-sentencing report, interviews and even the victim impact assessment.
Having taken all into consideration Justice Smith with the initial sentencing of seven years in mind, which is the maximum for robbery, reduced to two years and six months with immediate effect.
