Two men were yesterday remanded to prison after being charged with armed robbery.
The charge, which was read to Wayne Blair, 28, and Ezra Evans, 25, by Principal Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus, states that on March 21st, 2019 at Evans Street, Charlestown, while being armed with a knife, they robbed James Walters of a bicycle, valued $7,000, a cellular phone, valued $5,000, and $8,000 cash.
Blair and Evans pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Blair told the court that he was previously sentenced to three years for robbery.
Police Prosecutor Quinn Harris objected to bail being granted to the men because of seriousness of the offence and the penalty attached to it.
The court also heard that they were identified by Walters and were then arrested and charged.
They were both remanded to prison and were told to return to court on April 8th, 2019, for reports.
