Ryan Goodluck, 22, of 98 Herstelling Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara and Alex Pickering, also 22, of Durban Backlands, Georgetown, were granted bail in the sum of $75,000 and $200,000 respectively.
It is alleged that on October 29, at Craig Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, Goodluck, while in the company of another and armed with a gun, robbed Mandisa Cameron of a Samsung Galaxy S5 cell phone and a gold and black purse and $11,000 cash.
The unrepresented man pleaded not guilty.
Police Prosecutor Christopher Morris told the court that the virtual complainant was walking along Craig Street, when the defendant, who was a pillion rider on a motorcycle, approached her and pointed a gun to her, before escaping with the items.
According to Morris, the woman made a report to police. Goodluck was arrested and placed on an identification parade and was positively pointed out.
But Attorney Daren Wade told the court that his client has no knowledge about the robbery.
As a condition of bail, Goodluck was instructed to report to the Providence Police Station, every Monday, until the determination of the matter.
This matter continues on December 19.
Meanwhile Pickering, who was unrepresented, is accused of robbing Kevin Headley of $56,000, a quantity of women’s clothing and a Samsung Galaxy S5 cell phone – all totaling $396,000; and at the time of, immediately, before or after the said robbery, he used personal violence.
It is also alleged that on October 10, at Puruni, Pickering unlawfully and maliciously wounded Seon Smith.
Pickering denied both allegations. He was admitted to bail in the sum of $50,000 on the first charge and $150,000 on the latter, after Police Prosecutor Gillian Simmons made no objections.
The defendant, who said he has no previous conviction, will make another court appearance on December 5 before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan.
