The Guyana Police Force said that Jaden Jackson, 18, of Tucville, Georgetown, and Mark Major, 25, of Waterloo Street, Georgetown, appeared before Magistrate Dylon Bess at the Diamond Magistrate’s Court, where they were jointly charged with robbery under arms.

The charge alleges that the two men robbed a 20-year-old resident of Covent Garden New Scheme, East Bank Demerara, during an incident at Covent Garden on June 30.

After their not guilty plea they were remanded to prison and the matter was adjourned until July 17.
