A federal jury on March 6, 2015, convicted St. Croix resident Ketisha Isles, 23, of Conspiracy to Interfere with Commerce by Robbery and Interference with Commerce by Robbery.
Evidence presented at trial established that on June 17, 2013, Isles was involved in a robbery at Perfection Jewelry Store.
According to the evidence, Isles was buzzed into the store and held the door open for three masked gunmen to enter. Once inside, one of the gunmen hit an employee several times with a gun, while another man stood at the door and the other two went behind the counter, broke the display case and stole approximately $100,000.00 worth of 14 carat gold jewelry.
Isles faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each of the two counts for which she was convicted. She was released on a $25,000 unsecured bond and remains free pending sentencing.
