A female security guard accused of stealing $10 million from an armoured truck six years ago has been found not guilty.

Nadein Miller, 52 was acquitted Monday after a trial in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court where she was represented by King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie and Samoi Campbell.

Miller was charged with larceny as a servant following the disappearance of $10 million from an armoured truck for which she was part of the loading team on January 25, 2018.

The Crown alleged that after helping to load the truck, Miller, who had been complaining of feeling unwell, left the compound. Shortly after the truck departed, it was discovered that a bag containing $10 million was missing.

However, $6 million was later found at a school attended by Miller’s child on February 9, 2018.

In her address to the court, attorney Samoi Campbell emphasised that surveillance footage showed Miller leaving the compound without the bag in her possession.

Campbell also noted that the armoured truck left the compound without Miller and that a check of the money was conducted after Miller had already exited.

The attorney also pointed out that Miller was arrested on January 28, 2018, and that police had conducted multiple searches at the school where the money was discovered after her arrest. This indicated that the money could have been placed there by someone else. The room where the money was found had no door, making it easily accessible. Miller was not the only Atlas employee with children attending the school, the lawyer argued.

In delivering the verdict, Chief Parish Court Judge Chester Crooks stated that the evidence did not sufficiently establish that Miller was responsible for taking the money and highlighted that the evidence did not dispel the possibility that other persons who had access to the money had taken it. As a result, Miller was found not guilty.
