There were two members of staff in the store at the time. The alleged robbers threatened to shoot the staff and demanded to be let into the back of the store.
They stole multiple mobile phones, a laptop, and the phones belonging to the staff.
Muhit was arrested on February 4, charged on February 5, and remanded to appear at Reading Crown Court on March 7.
