He was not required to plead to the offences, one of which said that on Wednesday, April 01 at Regent Street, Georgetown, being armed with a gun he robbed Andre July of one G3 rifle and 20 rounds of ammunition valued together at $688,000, along with $42, 522, 000 cash, property of the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC).

Police prosecutor Simone Payne disclosed that on the day in question around 07:45 hrs Hinds drove the mini bus PSS 5641 to the post office where they were ambushed by the accused along with five others. The attackers pushed the driver out of the seat before tying up July and the police officer.

They then drove the bus to Cemetery Road to a waiting white fielder motor car and made good their escape with the car along with the money, gun and ammunition.

Evans was represented by Attorney at Law Peter Hugh.

The matter was adjourned to April 13, before Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
