Twenty-eight-year-old Wayne Blair of First Avenue, Bartica, and 25-year-old Ezra Evans, of Lot 57 West Front Road, Georgetown were hauled before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts on Monday after they were charged jointly for robbery.
It is alleged that the duo robbed James Walter of his bicycle and cash totalling $20,000 on March 21 at Evans Street, Charlestown, Georgetown while they were armed with a knife.
They both denied the charge when it was read to them by Senior Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus on Monday.
The prosecution is contending that the men were apprehended by public-spirited persons and handed over to the Police after they committed the crime. Bail was opposed on the grounds of the prevalence of the offence and the fact that one of the accused was previously charged with a matter of similar matter. The duo was remanded and the case was scheduled to continue on April 8, 2019.
