Glen Eastman of Samatta Point Grove, East Bank Demerara, pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on April 27 at Middle Street, McDoom, East Bank Demerara, he robbed Teshawna Henry of a handbag, a pair of Jordan footwear, and an umbrella among other items to the value of $51,200.

None of the items were recovered. The defendant will make another court appearance on May 29.
