Three men appeared in Court on Monday and were jointly charged with the robbery of a Chinese supermarket in the Providence community on the East Bank of Demerara.
The three accused, 22-year-old Brian Stevens of Haslington, 20-year-old Cladius James of South Ruimveldt and 21-year-old Ronaldo Allicock of Providence, appeared before Magistrate Judy Latchman, where the robbery charge was read to them.
The three men pleaded not guilty to the charge that on the 3rd June, they attacked and robbed the owners of a Chinese Supermarket in Providence. The men reportedly carted off an undisclosed sum of money.
After entering their not guilty plea, the Magistrate refused bail and remanded the trio to jail, until their next Court hearing, which has been set for the 26th June, 2024.
There has been an upsurge in attacks and robberies of Chinese supermarkets across Georgetown and in other communities.
The situation recently triggered a meeting between the Police Commissioner and the Chinese Ambassador to Guyana, who expressed concern bout the situation.
