Accused robber charged and remanded

In court news, eighteen year old Malcolm Wagner, believed by the police to be one of two men who stole a thousand dollars from a driver and delivery man for Sunny Side Bakery, was charged with Robbery and Wounding when he appeared today in Magistrate’s Court number one. Chief Magistrate Margaret McKenzie explained to Wagner that she cannot offer him bail because the robbery was committed with a firearm and remanded him into custody until December fourteenth. Earl Johnson reported to police that around twelve-fifteen on the afternoon of August seventeenth he was approached by two young men when he stopped to make a delivery behind the Mahogany Street government complex. Johnson told police that one of the men pointed a silver coloured revolver at him then took away a bag which contained the money. Johnson said he grabbed at the revolver and it discharged, causing a bullet to pass through the palm of his left hand. Both robbers then fled from the scene. While police detained Wagner on Tuesday, the second suspect is still at large.
