Brandon Sun - PRINT EDITION
Bail has been granted to two men who were charged in connection with a violent robbery downtown earlier this week.
A man was attacked and robbed by a pair of men on the 300-block of 13th Street early Tuesday morning.
It’s alleged that the victim was attacked and kicked by one of the men as he was robbed of cash and his cellphone.
The second robber wielded a knife and, intoxicated, cut himself or his accomplice before the pair fled.
Two men were arrested at a nearby apartment a short time later.
The allegations haven’t been proven in court.
Nicholas Joseph Halcrow-Jewels, 18 and Justin Lee Verinder, 31, each face a robbery charge and a charge of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Halcrow-Jewels also faces a charge of uttering threats.
In court on Thursday, the Crown attorney consented to the release of both men who will effectively be under house arrest.
Their next court date has been set for Nov. 1.
