Nykose Gritten, the Laing Avenue man who police say was shot last week during a gunfight with cops, was on Tuesday charged with the armed robbery of a vendor and was remanded to prison.
Gritten, 23, was read a charge which stated that on April 21, at Pike Street, Kitty, he, in the company of another and armed with a gun, robbed Ganpat Seepersaud of $400,000 in cash along with other items, including a bag containing items belonging to Pertab Kumar.
When the charge was read by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in Georgetown, Gritten plead not guilty. He was represented by attorney Stanley Moore, who claimed that his client was injured some time before the alleged attack.
