A Devonshire man charged with robbing a 71-year-old woman at knife point appeared in Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Oshay Swan, of Roberts Avenue, was charged with robbery and being in possession of an offensive weapon.

The 23-year-old man was not required to enter a plea as the charges are indictable and will be dealt with in the Supreme Court.

It was alleged that Swan robbed the elderly woman at Images Restaurant at the Warwick Workmen's Club, on November 7.

Crown counsel Shade Subair objected to bail and Acting Senior Magistrate Carlisle Greaves remanded Swan in custody until November 26.
