TWO men aged 25 appeared in the Pinetown Magistrate’s Court for armed robbery and were remanded into custody until Monday, 20 July for further investigation.
Pinetown SAPS communications officer, Lt Bongumusa Manqele, said it is alleged that on Wednesday, 8 July in the early hours of the evening, the victim (26) was walking along Crompton Street in Pinetown when he was robbed of his cellphone and cash at knife-point by two men.
