He pleaded not guilty to that summary charge.

The prosecutor, police constable Shamrock Pierre, objected strongly to bail for the two accused on the grounds that police were still recovering items and that there were two other suspects at large. He argued that it was feared that if released on bail they would interfere with the investigations.

The prosecutor requested a two-week adjournment for police to complete their investigations. .

The prosecutor asked presiding magistrate, Bertie Pompey to transfer the joint charge to the Serious Offences Court and Rogers’ separate charge to the Calliaqua Magistrate Court.

The magistrate granted the request and remanded the two youngsters. He informed them of their right to apply to the High Court for bail.

Rogers was ordered to appear before the Calliaqua Magistrate Court on March 27.
