FIVE men who are facing numerous charges in relation to alleged armed robberies in Honiara this year will take their pleas on September 21.
The court had heard on Monday that disclosures were already served to the Public Solicitor lawyers representing the accused men.
However, one of the accused Frank Firimolea has changed lawyers and he is now represented by Private Lawyer Leslie Kwaiga.
Prosecution is yet to serve him the disclosures.
Principal Magistrate Fatima Taeburi on Monday ordered prosecution to serve disclosures to Mr Kwaiga before the next court appearance so that all accused can enter their pleas.
Firimolea, Fred Taebo Dara, and Lawrence Liliva, a 15-year-old juvenile, and Alex Niumalefo are facing various charges in relation to the armed robbery on different dates in May and June this year.
Prosecution alleged that during those months, there were a number of armed robbery and break-ins cases reported to police from the Ngossi area, west Honiara; to Ranadi, east Honiara.
The incidents involved a group of armed masked men between the ages of 15 to 30.
It was alleged this group invaded homes of expatriates, businesses peoples, as well as those of Solomon Islanders and removed valuable properties and money.
A number of home owners sustained injuries during the robbery incidents and some have to be flown overseas for medical treatment.
