TWO men were remanded in custody after being charged with robbery at a Valleys takeaway.

Daniel Burston, 23, of Llanarth Road, Pontllanfraith, and Kyran Peplar, 21, of Bryn House, Crumlin, appeared at Caerphilly Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Both men were charged with the robbery of £300 from Taste of India, High Street, Pentwynmawr, on April 22.

Peplar was also charged with possession of an imitation firearm.

The two defendants only spoke to confirm their names and addresses and were remanded in custody by district judge John Charles to appear at Newport Crown Court on May 10. No pleas were entered by the defendants.

Gwent Police said on Sunday that a third man, aged 25 and from Pontllanfraith, was released on bail pending further inquiries.
