THREE defendants, in different robbery and larceny cases, were all refused bail and remanded to prison yesterday by Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.

One of the prisoners, Tony Ogle, 34, of Lot 79 Albouystown, faced two charges of robbery under arms, to which he pleaded not guilty.

It is alleged that, last September 30, while armed with a gun, he robbed Ethan Curtis of gold and diamond jewellery, worth $800,000 and in booty worth a total $1.8M.

Another allegation against him is that he, also at gunpoint, robbed Shondell Wilson of a $30,000 cellular phone amongst things valued $69,300.

His case will be called again on October 20.

The other defendant who denied gun robberies is Orrin Akrum, 22, of Lot 461 West Ruimveldt, also in Georgetown.

He is accused of robbing two victims, Myrtle Branche, of belongings valued $4,015 on October 7 and Jennifer Prince, of booty valued at $19,500, on October 8, both times being armed with a gun.

His cases have been put off to October 28.

The other prisoner on remand is Dennis Downer, 18, who is on a simple larceny charge.

He, too, pleaded not guilty to stealing a cell phone, valued $129,000, on October 9, from Annalisa (only name stated).

His case has been put off to October 20, as well.
