'Armed robber' denies £130,000 Post Office raid in Hounslow
A suspected armed robber who is accused of a £136,000 raid on a west London Post Office is set to stand trial in September.
Rajvinder Kahlon, 41, is accused of robbing Sunaver and Ramandeep Dhillon at the branch on Brabazon Road, Hounslow on April 1.
The Metropolitan Police said a man entered the building making threats to the two members of staff with what they believed was a firearm.
The man allegedly stole a large quantity of cash from the Post Office counterwithin a Go Local Xtra convenience store.
At Isleworth crown court on Tuesday, Kahlon appeared in custody to face the charges for the first time.
He entered not guilty pleas to two counts of robbery and also denied an allegation of possessing an imitation firearm.
Judge Martin Edmunds KC, Recorder of Kensington and Chelsea, set the case down for a trial which is due to begin on September 9.
Kahlon was remanded back into custody until the start of the trial.
Scotland Yard said at the time of the raid that Flying Squad officers had responded immediately to reports of an armed robbery.
Kahlon, from Great West Road, Hounslow, first appeared in court on April 6, when the value of the robbery was put at £136,774.44.
