earlier this year, will be back before the court on October 2.

Reid Jones, 24, of Sandys Parish, and Randolph Lightbourne, 31, of Devonshire, are facing armed robbery and firearms charges. They appeared before Senior Magistrate Will Francis yesterday.

Lightbourne faces additional charges which include using a firearm to commit an indictable offence and attempting to do grievous bodily harm.

The offences stem from the July 8 robbery of the Somerset branch of the Bank of Butterfield.

At about 10.15 that morning two masked and armed robbers entered a side door of the bank, while security officers were making a cash delivery.

The robbers incapacitated the security officers, injuring one in the process, and fled with a bag containing $70,000 in cash.

Both Jones and Lightbourne are remanded in custody.

Jones is represented by Mark Pettingill while Archie Warner is representing Lightbourne.
