A MAN was denied bail yesterday after he allegedly attempted to steal another man’s car at gunpoint. Machino McKenzie, 21, stood before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain accused of attempted armed robbery.

He is accused of attempting to rob Kermit Moss of his silver 2005 Honda Fit while armed with a handgun on August 17. He was not required to enter a plea in court. He was informed his case would proceed by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He was told of his right to apply for bail in the Supreme Court, where his trial will  be held. McKenzie’s VBI is expected to take place on November 10.
