A mason facing two counts of armed robbery is now a remanded prisoner after a city court heard that one of the victims positively identified him to police.
It is alleged that on August 22nd, 2018, at Church Road, Albouystown, while being armed with a gun, Adam Mohammed, 20, robbed Andre Jordan of a Guyana passport, which is valued $5,000.
It is also alleged that on March 25th, 2019, at East Ruimveldt Housing Scheme, while in the company of another and being armed with a gun, he robbed Talmatti Persaud of a cellular phone and other items, which amounted to a total value of $36,000.
Mohammed pleaded not guilty to the two charges, which were read to him by Principal Magistrate Sherdell Isaacs-Marcus in Georgetown.
Police Prosecutor Quinn Harris objected to bail being granted to Mohammed because of the seriousness of the offence, the penalty attached to it and the use of a gun.
Harris also stated that Mohammed was positively identified by Jordan and was then arrested and charged.
Bail was refused to Mohammed and he was remanded to prison until April 8th, when the matters are to be called for reports.
Mohammed was previously found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm and had served a two-year sentence for the crime.
