The main suspect could find himself in Court early in the new week. His alleged accomplice, Akelow Marshall is also expected to face charges.
Marshall was arrested in Berbice at Springlands, as he was attempting to make his way over to neighbouring Suriname.
The main suspect, Andrew Ridley is well known to law enforcement and has been fingered in a number of previous robbery cases.
