Two men charged with robbing a taxi driver at gunpoint pleaded not guilty at Circuit Court today.

Prince Buses, 19, and Celow R.C. Woods, 20, appeared at their arraignment this morning via closed circuit video link from the Oahu Community Correctional Center after an Oahu grand jury indicted both men for first-degree robbery.

Judge Colette Garibaldi confirmed bail at $50,000 each and set their trial for the week of Apr. 10.

Shortly before 1 a.m. on Jan. 13, a Charley’s Taxi driver drove Buses and Woods to Safeway on the Pali Highway from Times Supermarket in Liliha. Once the driver reached the store, Buses allegedly brandished a handgun and demanded money and the driver’s cell phone.

Meanwhile, Woods allegedly tried to remove the taxi’s surveillance camera near the dashboard. Police said the driver gave them $80 and his iPhone before they fled.

After the robbery occurred, police released footage from the taxi’s surveillance camera, asking the public’s help in identifying the two culprits.

Police arrested Buses in Waikiki and Woods in Chinatown on Jan. 27.
