A labourer was yesterday remanded to prison on a charge that he robbed a man in a knife-point stick up.

It is alleged that Calvin Belgrave, in the company of others and while being armed with a knife, robbed Dellon Anderson of a cellphone, valued $36,000, and $20,000 in cash on November 2nd, 2018, at Brickdam and Cornhill Street, Georgetown.

The father of two pleaded not guilty to the charge after it was read to him in Georgetown by Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman.

According to the police, Anderson was standing along Cornhill Street when Belgrave and three other persons went up to him and asked for $100. He then told them that he did not have it and they then circled him, pulled out a knife and pointed it at him and relieved him of the articles mentioned in the charge.

Belgrave was remanded to prison until November 19th, when his next hearing is scheduled.
