Two teenagers on Wednesday appeared before Georgetown Magistrate Faith McGusty charged jointly for robbery under arms.
They were both remanded to prison after entering not-guilty pleas on the charge.
Kevin Thomas, 19, of South Sophia, Greater Georgetown and Joseph Macey, 18, 
of Lot 63 Agricola, Greater Georgetown, both denied that while being armed with a knife on January 20, 2019, they robbed Rishi Maturo in broad daylight on Regent Street, Georgetown.
The prosecution is contending that the teens were positively identified as the perpetrators who stole the victim’s phone and watch, among other items, amounting to a total value of $14,000.
Both defendants were remanded after Police Prosecutor Annalisa Brummell objected to bail, noting the penalty the charge attracted and the fact that the victim and defendants were known to each other.
Thomas and Macey are both expected to return on February 13, 2019.
