‘Blacks’ charged after allegedly breaking into supermarket in St Elizabeth
ST Elizabeth, Jamaica – The St Elizabeth police have charged a man from St Elizabeth for larceny and house breaking, after he allegedly broke into a supermarket on October 15.
Charged is Dwayne Atkinson otherwise called ‘Blacks’, a 29-year-old construction worker of New Town, Black River in the parish.
Reports are that about 2:00 am, surveillance cameras picked up four men seen in the vicinity of a popular supermarket in Black River. The police patrol team was alerted and travelled to the location. Upon the arrival of the lawmen, the men fled the scene. The police gave chase and the one man was held.
The items recovered were identified by the owner, and the lawmen later inspected the establishment and realised that entry was gained through a window.
Atkinson was subsequently taken into custody where he was charged. His court date is being finalised.
The other culprits are still being pursued by the Black River police.
