A security guard was yesterday remanded to prison after pleading not guilty to a robbery under-arms charge.
Twenty-eight-year-old Leroy Bagot of South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, appeared before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts where he denied the charge read to him.
It is alleged that on July 19, at Cummings Street, while being in the company of another and armed with a gun, Bagot robbed the virtual complainant, Alwin Robertson, of one Samsung Galaxy phone note three, valued $130,000.
Police Prosecutor Simone Payne did not disclose any facts in the matter but objected to bail being granted to the defendant citing the serious nature of the offence. The penalty the charge attracts and the fact that a gun was used to commit the offence.
The father of three will make his next court appearance on August 9.
