They face joint charges of assault with intent to rob and robbery.

Beckles faces an additional charge of possession of cannabis, while Eversley faces additional charges of burglary and the theft of a motor car.

They appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Christopher Birch at the District ‘C’ Magistrates’ court today and were not required to plead to the indictable offence of robbery .
