A miner was yesterday granted his release on $100,000 bail after he denied a robbery with violence charge.
Nigel Wellington, 33, of Lot 1 Mocha, East Bank Demerara, appeared before city magistrate Faith McGusty.
It was alleged that on July 5, at Tucville, Georgetown, he robbed Esther Gittens of a cellphone, two gold rings, US$75 and $4,000 in cash, all having a total value of $160,000, and immediately before or afterwards, he used personal violence.
Wellington pleaded not guilty to the charge.
