A Policeman described the chaotic scene outside a Devon Lane, Devonshire, home after violence erupted over stolen jewellery.

Insp. Simon Groves, testifying in the Supreme Court trial of Pembroke resident Kenneth Caines, said he saw several men armed with weapons.

Caines, 20, is charged with two counts of unlawfully wounding with the attempt to do grievous bodily harm, one count of robbery and one count of possession of an offensive weapon, namely a machete on November 29, 2003.

The outbreak of violence was spurred by an incident outside Captain?s Lounge when Marlon Rewan, 30, of Warwick, was allegedly robbed of several items of jewellery by Caines and Ryan Sydney Burgess, of Devon Lane, Devonshire.

Several hours later, Marlon Rewan and his two brothers, Stevon, 27, and Devon, 34, went to Burgess? Devon Lane home to retrieve the items when a fight took place.

Insp. Groves, who arrived on the scene, said he saw all three Rewan brothers using weapons and causing damage to the Subaru car Caines was sitting in.

?There were five young men who were all fighting among themselves and some of them, maybe all of them had weapons, which appeared to be knives, sticks (and) garden tools,? said Insp. Groves during questioning from Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney.

?I saw (Stevon Rewan) pick up bricks from the garden area,? Insp. Groves said. ?He used them to smash one of the windows to the Subaru car. One of the other men at the rear of the car picked up a garden shovel. He used the shovel to smash in the driver?s side window of the car. Another of the men attempted to kick the car window with his foot.?

Although denying using a brick to damage the car, Smith?s resident Stevon Rewan, told the court that he ripped out stereo equipment.

Stevon and Marlon Rewan earlier denied they used weapons in the melee.

The fight resulted in several of the young men being rushed to King Edward Memorial VII Hospital, including Stevon Rewan, who received a machete wound to the head, and Devon Rewan, who was cut on his right hand.

The trial, before Puisne Judge Charles Etta Simmons, will continue this morning and is expected to be finished by the end of the week.
