A young robbery accused is now a remanded prisoner after his declaration that he “never rob nobody” did not move a city magistrate to grant him his release on bail.
Joshua Austin, 21, of Lot 157 Lodge Housing Scheme, pleaded not guilty to an armed robbery charge yesterday when he appear-ed before acting Chief Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown.
It is alleged that on December 22nd, 2019, at Albouystown, while in the company of another, and while armed with a handgun, Austin robbed Derek Gaskin of a gold chain with a pendant, valued $510,000, a gold ring valued $42,000 and a gold band valued $180,000, which were all the property of Gaskin.
