Two accused in Credit Union hold up back in court
By Contributor
The two people who allegedly held up the Nelson and District Credit Union will be back in court January 28 & 29 to have their preliminary inquires.
This is an initial inquiry that occurs at the demand of an accused wherein a judge screens the proposed criminal charge against the available evidence.
Andrew Stevenson, 34 had his case in court to hear 21 charges in the robberies — including the Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson, Nelson and District Credit Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson.
The counts include robbery, possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
His co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, 26, is accused in the Nelson robberies and Castlegar break-ins.
A pre-trial conference will be held December 2.
