The men were also slapped with another charge which stated that on May 26, while being armed with a gun in the same Bagotstown area, robbed Sameer Imran Hassan of a .32 Taurus revolver along with six matching rounds of ammunition.
The men denied the third charge which stated that on May 27 at Bagotstown, while being armed with a gun, they attempted to rob Leon Jan.
Rose was separately charged for having a .32 Taurus revolver along with six matching rounds of ammunition in his possession on May 27 at Bagotstown, when he was not the holder of firearm licence. The 19-year-old mason denied the charge.
Police prosecutor, Inspector Neville Jeffers, objected to bail being granted to the two accused on the grounds of the seriousness of the charges and the fact that the gun and Cordis’ cellular phone were recovered in Rose’s possession.
Bail was denied for both accused and the matter was transferred to the Providence Magistrate’s court for June 27.
